This close to committing a sin

[N_N_R]

I'm soooooooooooo gonna order this:




I love it, I just can't justify the purchase. It's the weekend already, so I'll only be able to place an order on Monday and if I do it, I'll get it on Tuesday. Ordering from a foreign site doesn't make any sense now with this dollar to euro/bgn exchange rate. So I have to decide if to order it or not during the weekend. It's more than I've ever paid for whatever piece of gear, I think 


Points in favour of buying it:

- I have the money to do it
- I found the money to buy it without touching my savings, lol
- I haven't bought a real flashlight for five months (I don't count the tiny Black Water one I waited for for a 40 days)
- I've been buying flashlights at .. half a year/five-month intervals, so it's about time for a new one, lol
- I just like the looks of that thing
- I haven't got a copper light or whatever copper so far
- I had promised myself to spend an N amount of money per month on toys for myself and it's been a few months and I haven't really done it, so I have the N amount x several months to spend yet
- I already have my next paycheck here, so the money I'll have left at the end of the month will have to go to savings OR this light
- I managed to sell something, so I've already got the money for 1/3rd of the light by selling another thing I had
- It's a NEW, brighter version
- Since I saw it, I've had, literally, two dreams about it (really, dreaming at night about buying it, omg), which must mean I really want it
- A family member's bought clothes worth of more than that during the last month; another family memeber's gonna buy anooooother car; so why don't I allow myself the pleasure of owning this cool thing






Points against buying it:

- My freakin brain tells me NO, lol
- I already have a Tool (but it's the older aluminium version)






Seeeeeeeeeeee, we women have a problem. We can't decide. 


Maybe one of you already has it? And can share pics??

just get something brighter - even your blackwater will be brighter than this


there are a lot better sins to commit

I don't want brighter, I want AAA And I seriously doubt the BL is the stated 140 lumens

Yes, I committed another sin yesterday: had way too much chocolate.

[dks]

any other sins you want to confess to?

[N_N_R]

Nope. I'm too young to go to jail.

[dks]

sins of the flesh.....



 

[N_N_R]

I have the feeling you don't have less free time than me. heh.

[kirk13]

Yep,was waiting for that

I drove to the mountains and played in the snow, went shopping, installed some new roof lights and I am now relaxing and chatting with extra friendly people on the net, whilst watching TV   

going hunting and to a barbecue tomorrow..

Kirk, I am on the pull here   

[kirk13]

:worthless

I'd never have guessed

[kirk13]

So....now that you've pulled,when do you want to meet my parents?

[dks]

parents love me !

I am probably a better choice than the ex   

[kirk13]

parents love me !

I am probably a better choice than the ex   

You know,that'd be funny if it was actually true

 

[dks]

her loss, my gain   

[N_N_R]

My poor thread.......

[dks]

shhhh, I am working here

Just buy it.
 
In 2 years or 62 to years, you will assume room temperature.  And it won't matter one bit that you bought a flashlight way back in 2016.  Now it the time to buy toys.

  What  logic. You're so right.

[powernoodle]

I'm an enabler.

It is also how I have ended up with maybe 100+ lights, 120+ knives, 40+ guns, uncountable dozens of SAKs and MTs, and about 30 Maxpedition and 5.11 bags and toys.

I'm not saying that its the right way to live, but I have gotten away with it so far.

[N_N_R]

You mean it hasn't killed you .... So I'm also most probably likely to die of other external causes than buying that copper light..... ....


Lol.

mmm this is pretty. I might have to get it too

[N_N_R]

good, good.

[captain spaulding]

Seems the pro's vastly outweigh the cons. I think you already have your answer. 

[N_N_R]

me too

forgot another pro: I was gonna waste more in that deal with the fake silver coins if I had bought them hnm

[powernoodle]

You would probably feel better if you bought 2 of them.  One to keep, and the other to give away to a random #19 poster in this thread, whoever that might be.

I think maybe you should send the doubles to another certain post number in this thread

[mrynnr]

dang you N_N_R I just ordered one

[Aloha]

dang you N_N_R I just ordered one

 

Go for it NNR.  Like PN says, in 2 years or 62 years it aint gonna matter unless you cannot afford d to get it or it will cause undo financial stress.  Neither of which are on your con list 

[captain spaulding]

dang you N_N_R I just ordered one

Haha.
