As a throwback, before I came back to CPF a few months ago, my EDC's were the top-notch (at the time) torches of a Nitecore D10 and an EZ AA.
The EZ AA has been on my keychain for the past 5 years, until I lost it today. Looking back, I paid $49 for it, and am amazed that compared to 130 lumens then, I can EDC the MH20 that is ~1000 lumens.
Anyway, as I was reminiscing, I saw the eBay auction below for an EZ AA that got a few bids, and sold for $35. Its used, though in good condition... but who's buying such things?

Is it considered vintage now? If so, my D10 is somewhere at home in pretty good condition (I think) -- the belt clip got loose after a year, and I lost the screw, so its been on a shelf or a desk. Does it have collectable value?
Any old-timers have stories of their first/past loves?
