Even more so is what an old incan Surefire with a Crosshairs logo is worth.
What's so big about having the crosshair logo...
I guess I need to stock up on a few more G series lights. I love em, and might grab a set of 6Ps also....

I have an old G2 without lockout tailcap. I rather like it as sometimes less is more.
Same here, I was about to throw it away a few years back as I was new to my "Education" and thought it was faulty, lol...
Little was I then....

I do like how it shaves a few mm off the overall length.
I'm frankly surprised it took Surefire this long to ditch incans. They've been basically obsolete for years now and I can't imagine who's still buying them except to use as hosts. I guess that explains the firesale pricing on 6P's lately. The 6P is such a rock solid host though that I'll have to pick up another one or two from Amazon while they're still there and still under $30.
Why bother contemplating it anyway if you're literally going to change every aspect of the light besides the SureFire logo on the side to "get it to your liking"??? Then, talk about what you'd rather spend your money on in the thread solely based on getting a good deal on 6P? LOL
Glad to know where you'd rather spend your money.......

The crowd is definitely thinning out. About all that is going on at Ebay is a couple offered in the $30-$40 range. Also, I noticed that there was not a single original G2 being offered. I guess it is the end of an era.
Yeah I noticed available G2's were typically going for the same prices lately...like there isn't/wasn't a big dump of them to the market like it's metal sibling, the 6P.
Frankly I haven't visited the SF sight in ages so don't know if they've eliminated all incans or just the 2 models us hobbiests enjoy so much.

Not one incan flashlight listed on the SF website. Gone...

I alluded to the buying impulse, fueled by the low prices and belief that the model has been discontinued, which I assumed others also shared. I shared my opinion. Excuse me.
Why bother? Why does Oveready bother with any of their P and C series modification and upgrade products and services?
Some are buying 6p's while they still can for curing the urge to scratch an itch that may involve turning it into a Chevy pickup headlight bright light, an old fashioned incan cop light or something in between. I'm keeping my $28.35 6P stock.
Regardless it aint something worth arguing over.
So lets all just live and let live here...ok?
afterall.....
Flashlights are fun.

SF may be done with incandescents, But I am not and never will be. Some of my favorites are the 6P and E2E burning that hot wire! Thank goodness for Lumens Factory.
Hot Wires Save Lives! :grouphug:

^^ I dig what you're saying there.
Long live the parts box!!!
A little off topic but may shed some light..
Pun intended...
Anyway have you guys noticed $3 flashlights are LED now?
It's as if it's more costly to produce the incan products anymore.
And let's face it, how many folks will pay $60 for an incan 6P vs $60 for a G2x Pro? (Meaning the masses, not us)
Thanks to clones and knockoffs it's even worse...only a select few even buy genuine 6P bodies these days..
So Sure Fire in the end was probably not see-ing enough sales...and unlike Mag decided to eliminate them from their roster, where Mag learned making them thinner and out of slightly less paint, metal, whatever and sells mini mag incans at Wally world for $7.99 or 2D's for $20...that aint SureFire's style.
Same scenario for Sure Fire would be thinner, cheaper made versions of the 6P for selling at Lowes for say...$20... Not gonna happen.
I get that.
