Re: Help: Arc AAA 2003 CPF Edition how much $$???
ARC's on Ebay have been commanding a premium over CPF prices for sometime. Especially ARC AAA's, sometimes almost double cpf prices.
ARC AAA is still the world's best AAA LED light. not the brightest, best form facter, tuffest, longest runtime etc, but the best compromise of the above.
Prices on ebay reflect the flashlight buying public is way bigger than membership on CPF. We've been seeing ARC AAA going for $100+ for quite sometime. A plain ARC AAA went for $122.
mint 2003 CPF ARC AAA were selling for $85-$125 on CPF before ARC closed down. the much rarer 2002 CPF spl were selling for $150+ on cpf, if you could find one. If I remember correctly Frenchy went on a quest to find a 2002 cpf spl. took almost two months before someone gave up one.
On all 6 cpf ARC's I've got. LED's were hand picked 2X premium beams. Not any brighter, but almost white, very rare for Nichia's
