Swindled is a hard word.Assuming you have a flashlight similar to these...(Image removed from quote.)... yes you did pay a "premium" price, but as dks said, there are lights that cost many times the "normal" price of these that have far less performance. I have 4 of these (about $7 AUS off eBay) and they are stashed in the glove compartments of the cars and the tankbag on my motorcycle. at the end of the day, even if we ignore price, they are a pretty decent light. A good level of output on a single AA and tons on a 14500 cell (AA LiION)
I always look at it like this...we're you happy with the price when you paid? If yes then dont worry, as they say hindsight is a wonderful thing . Now where do I get me one?

I swear every time I buy something at what I know is a great price, someone will have bought it cheaper. Enjoy the light.

What is an item "worth" to you. Another sere type saying is "your knife is your life" and that holds true.I would willingly trade my car for a buck 110 if that 110 would save my life.Try to spend without regrets and don't chase the numbers...your wallet will never be full enough. Money is a necessary evil, I hate getting bogged down in it. If I want something and I can afford it, I get it. If not then I dont but when the transaction is over, I forget the price...sorry to derail the thread.
