The aim of this is to, hopefully, provide for shared purchases, and general sharing of expertise. Since this is a general thread, I suppose we can discuss group buys (or is there another forum for that?) and suggest the odd get-together.

Participation is strictly voluntary, of course.

CPF'ers in Malaysia, you're not included for now as you probably won't directly benefit from a group buy.
But feel free to sign in here.

Thanks.

Degree of flashaholism:

Inova X-1 (Used to be a Arc AAA, but hey, I toy with lights, so I got the inova as a spot light), Arc LSH-P modded to 700ma (sold this one for a Surefire E2E for my mum), and you guess it, SF E2E (She says it's too bright and too small! You can't please everybody... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif) PT Surge, PT Rage, Mag 2C with a LD LS striped of it's phosphor (I toy with lights remember? ;p) Pelican M6, Brandless 2D light which has a 5 cell maglite bulb in it waiting for 3toD adapters to arrive from US, courtesy of Roth! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks ROTH!)

And as for phyhsnuts, it's true that you don't really want to know too much (about him that is), when you have seen his maxabeam and his Lightforce SL240 side by side in person, you'll simply melt right in front of him, god knows what other multi giga watt lighting solutions he has... Maybe the 5K watt HID that was posted some time back that had a throw of 8 miles? You'll never know.. .and you most probably wont want to know for when you look at your "once great" lights, you'll feel really sad.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

*edit* I just found it, look over here: Space Cannon Ramses 5

Am I off topic yet? Next! Now.. where's Lucien... and hotfoot... and spidey82, Deviant, Nihraguk, Steel wolf, Spitfire, Destroid Monster, Benedict, Dragon, Jedi Light, FBA, SteveY, lhz.

Yes, I keep a list, that's probably not very up to date now... no, please don't be afraid, I'm not a stalker. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Degree of flashaholism: Start buying lights in 2003, start selling them in 2004, current owing an LSL-P and surefire L4, lost an LSH-S and ARC AAA before... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

As many of you asked:

From Feb 2004, I started buying lights and batteries from ARC LLC and Batterystation and resell them. (Most to China, but now seems can do some local market, hee hee).

For local friends, I'll sell them in a fair price. For ARC4s, I'll get you the same price if you buy in US, I'll cover the GST for you too.

For Pelican lights, the local price is not confirmed yet, it could be S$98 for a PM6-LED ONLY IF post office does not charge me GST, they did not charge for my last order. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That's the same price if buy one directly from Batterystation plus shipping(they do not offer discounts even I buy a lot). But you can come, see, play and choose before you buy, no need for wait 1 week for USPS Priority mail too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

For CR123 cells, I'm going to sell them for S$2.5 each, the cost is there and you can see it's a pretty low price already /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'll inform everyone when the lights and batteries arrive.

FYI: if anyone want to gather a group buy, BEWARE THE GST . Fedex will send the consignee a tax bill a week later AFTER the package arrived and will charge a $10 "Advancement Fee" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif

I also got the "police" torchlight in singapore for S$10.00...Wanted to mod, but when I think I have to buy more stuff, sianz.

Re: Calling CPF\'ers in Singapore...

Well duh! Looks like I gone and posted in the wrong thread! Wonder how that happened...


Say s2k, what was that about GST on group buys? Only FedEx, or some customs stuff? So far I've never received any sort of tax bill, but then again haven't made any huge purchases...

And you wouldn't actually be driving a s2k would you? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif



Any interest in Klaus's Lux3s? I'm getting a few already...

Re: Calling CPF\'ers in Singapore...

if the order is small, say less than $200, it should be OK.

but I'm buying a lot, each package will worth 1.5 to 2k, so....

Fedex sends ALL declare forms to custom, so EVEY order over a certain amount will be charged...

Post office is better, they woun't charge you unless they really want, its somewhat depend on luck. But in most cases they woun't.

I got my ARC stuffs on Saturday morning, 5 arc4s were shipped to China already. Still have 1 Premium and 2 seconds here, and I believe they'll be ordered within next week. If anyone wants to see or try them, please sms me @ 90703510.

I also have LS tailswitches, arc4 screws and O-rings, I can offer these to those who need one for replacement, for FREE.

I have C-123 pouches, P-123 tailcaps, ARC4 T-shirt here as well /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm not selling AA or AAAs for now, ARC is changing desgins of the two models, so I'll wait untill the new desgin is availiable.....

Re: Calling CPF\'ers in Singapore...

Just FYI everyone,

Nerd's asking if there's any interest in organising a local gathering. You can check out the thread in the Get Togethers forum.

Making this post as I doubt any of us visit that on any regular basis... Hope its ok with the Mods...

It'll probably be a good opportunity to talk shop and show off our stuff. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Calling CPF\'ers in Singapore...

hi guys,

din know such a thread exist until i clicked on the "latest threads" at the top and came across this "Re: Calling CPF'ers in Singapore..." heading. have been only visiting the BST most of the time... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif

just got myself a madmax Q2 wide open for my minimag, and a CMG infinity ultra. great lights for starters like me... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

hoping to get a ARC LSH... my so-called "dream light" since i saw it. just hoping i have the dough to get one. chamenos was very kind enough to tell me that there was a recent offer to get it at a lower price, and he don't mind sharing the shipping fee with me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif hope i can share that "fortune" with him /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

thanx! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif

Re: Calling CPF\'ers in Singapore...

bump!

Hi guys, for your information, ICA charged me GST for my last batch of pelican m6-leds, the package costed about US$500. I asked the officer about this when i was collecting the package, he told me that ANY THING OVER S$400 WILL BE CHARGED.

however it still depends on luck, customs woun't check every package. they'll pick some everyday, so if yours is picked, you get the bill.

p.s. I'll have a batch of Surefire SF123A batteries coming in a few weeks, will let them go for $3 each.

Hi Daryl,

How much of a modder are you? Are you thinking of modding the LS when you get it?

I'm looking for a hand to hold mine (figuratively, of course) when I get around to one/all of the following on my LSH':

1) swap with a 1W from a better bin
2) swap with a 3W and a resistor mod
3) swap with a 1W from a better bin and a resistor mod

- probably also replacing the NX05 with a Fraen on one of the lucky lights.


Cheers.
