I also have a P7, fantastic torch, powerful light and the metal feels really really nice. Highly recommended, got it for about $80 on eBay.

Does the P7 fit in the flare hole? If it does I'm in.

Still at work, will check it out tonight via measuring though

Ebay meh, I would rather spend the money with Alan what's $20 - $30 to know 100% you are getting the real deal.

That being said, buying from overseas ebay merchants there seems to be a suggestion by the local wholesaler/distributor that warranty won't be honoured locally...

Ebay is not the only market out there.... :\

How about some of our local online stores, some with bricks and mortar presence...
LED Lenser P7
CCJ $85.00 + postage =???
"Your Home Depot" = $78.95 + $6 - or I could save postage they're located in Castle Hill, NSW.
Petes of Kensington = $92 + $5 - or I could save on postage and go to their store.... and get a choice of Titanium colour or plain Black.
Adventure Warehouse in Brisbane (ebay Store) = $84.95 + $0 = $84.95
Chain Reaction Cycles in the UK = $72.18 + $8.95 = $81.13

Other local options:
Petes of Kensington
Here are "Your Home Depot" LED Lenser products
A quick comparison of prices...

M1 - CCJ $61.00 / YHD $63.95
M14 - CCJ $108 / YHD $103.95
P7 - CCJ $85 / YHD $78.95
P14 - CCJ $99 / YHD $98.95
X21 - CCJ $425 / YHD $390
P17 - CCJ $115 / YHD $123

Group buys usually imply a decent overall discount for buying "bulk" or putting through a sizable transaction through with a merchant.

Anyway, everyone should do their own research. LED Lenser have a name and charge a premium for their product. Name brand necessarily doesn't mean "best"... Everyone's idea of value is different, some see cheap price as value, other's will look at overall price and features and usabaility of a product, other's just dont give two figs and if it works to their satisfaction, that is value to them...

There are other products out there... some seem to be designed much better than LED Lensers. Here's some food for thought... How about the Pelican brand? This model was made for the Los Angeles Police Dept - interesting to see the amount of thought into the design - and they retail for around $200 in AU if you're seriously into torches that are well designed are functional.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxd61B3wx7I

sorry i wasnt saying you where sabotaging the sale, i just wanted to know if it was indeed cheaper else where so i could go back to the supplier and ask for a greater discount for us all.

no problem.... but I didn't try hard enough or spend too much time on it. :) Perhaps I should try and find cheaper? :P

It seems many of the admin team are very concerned that I am allowing megatron to run this group buy.

I have had many dealings with Alan over the last year. In fact, he was the driver behind our first successful group buy after the SIR-VRX debacle. i.e. the Whiteline sway bar group buy.

Alan had offered to run this group buy through me but I see no reason for one more level of money handling.

So to satisfy the worries of the admin team, let me make a public declaration that I will underwrite any losses this membership should have if megatron were to do a runner.

There, that should satisfy you doubting Thomases.

Just a thought: If you don't give trust , there will be be no more new blood to lead and contribute... .
