Hey guys,

Gotta ask this question. I can remember not long ago the Streamlight M-3/M-6 lights were selling like crazy. Anything under $100 in used condition without a box was even a good deal.

I see there are like 3-4 of them in Like New condition with the box selling for $85 or less and no one is buying them.

Is the fad for tactical lights over? or am I just missing something

supply vs demand. Lots of folks get them wholesale, change their minds, take a few $ loss dumping them off. Could be an outsourcing price dump thing too, better options, etc.

Planning on doing a study?

Most likely these guys are upgrading, but nobody's buying because everybody wants the latest and greatest.

+1 maybe going from a M3 to a M6 or better yet a X200.
