"$199 for a $5 mini-mag light. Figures. "
You aren't keeping up with flashlight advancements, my little pocket flashlight that uses a single AA battery goes for $70.00.
I only paid $2.95 for mine, and it's a refillable lighter as well... I've got one in the truck glovie that throws out 10,000 bcp (good for deer) that plugs into the lighter only paid $9.95 for that one.
Tell you what- I'll sell you my $2.95 one for $30. I can get more for your friends, you can sell them for $70.
