Flashlights, old style, hundreds of them...
Existential Angst
I'm warehousing (in my hovel) about 250+ carded bulb-style D-cell
flashlights, all colors. They are carded without the D-cells (req. 2).
What to do with these??
They were originally intended as a part of some camping/survival pack, but I
don't think too many people want to hump Dcells around, now that LEDs are
common, and integrated into other utilities as well.
I figger I got 3 options:
1. throw'em out...
2. Sell'em to 99c stores -- and if they don't take them, that's a sure sign
they are worthless.
3. Scavenge the bulbs? :) THEN throw'em out...
or mebbe
4. Freebies/incentives with other stuff I might be selling? But, if they
are indeed useless....
I sort of dread humping around to 99c stores.... is it worth a shot?

I guess you could call around to the dollar stores but I expect they
will only offer less than $100 for the lot. When batteries run out on
my old flashlights, I toss them in the Goodwill bags with clothes and
stuff that I give them.
Garlicdude
EA, How about Craigslist? I wonder if a homeless shelter or a battered women's
shelter would take them?

The dollar store would give you about 20¢ for them, if anything. Donate
them to a shelter before hurricane season. Or Goodwill, etc.

Around here, there are constant 'garage sales' at a couple of the rental
storage place. Unlicensed flea markets, basically. Bet your area has
something similar. Those guys may give you a couple of bucks for them. A
real dollar store will NOT buy stuff from people walking in off the
street. No chain wants the risk of stolen property, roaches in the
boxes, etc. Their own warehouses or drop-ship from vendors, is the only
way they fly. I haven't seen any independent ma'n'pa dollar stores in years.
Garage sale season is starting. If you aren't having one of your own, or
know somebody that is, check your local ad paper for charities trolling
for donations for the ones they hold.
And there is always CraigsList and FreeCycle.

Donate to an abused shelter, is probably as good an idea as
anything. Hire a couple Cubscouts to go door to door. Most
people will spend $2.50 on a useless piece of junk if it's

I'm not quite sure I get what you've got in mind here.
re: "Hire a couple Cubscouts to go door to door."
To "hire" typical mean to pay for labor or personal services. In other
words, the Scouts would be doing something to benefit the OP right.
Based on your final words "Most people will spend $2.50 on a useless
piece of junk if it's for the kids", what exactly are you suggesting
the OP hire the Cub Scouts to do?
If it's to act like kids doing a fund raiser while to OP pockets the
profits, that's pretty dishonest, not to mention despicable for
considering getting the Cub Scouts involved.
If it's an actually donation to the Scouts so they can raise some
money, why would the OP need to "hire" them?
cl...@snyder.on.ca
You'll need to sell them for a quarter or less to be competetive.
Could also try local "surplus" outlets.

So that means the flashlight itself is about $1.50.
I'm surprised nonLED flashlights are being manufactured/sold at all.
A flashlight with 2 D cells is more like a club. Heh, in fact, mag lites

Convert each light into fused, 100 mA constant - current sources
with banana cables (Kelvin configuration) to connect to your DMM and

Reassemble them as milliohmmeter adapters. (0.1V = 1 ohm) to allow
anyone with a 0.1 mV DMM to measure down to 1 milliohm.
You can replace the flashlight lens with a single-sided PCB containing
the electronics.
Great for checking relay and switch contacts, connectors,
winding resistance, commutator connections, PCB short location,
etc. etc.
Charge $49.95 for each one and send me 10%. :)

Hey, Twitley. Why aren't you buying inexpensive HEADLAMPS?
That's the only type of flashlight I use on a regular basis and keep
several with me in the truck and at least 1 in every room in the
house. They keep both your hands free to carry whatever metal/wood
constructs you require at the time. And you can leave both that and
your boots on in bed. Chicks love the red LED style. <wink>

I wonder if I were to attach one to my front door if it would keep
the church people from coming around to proselytize? Would it repel
them or would they come back with torches and burn the house down?

Just hang a strap-on on the door with the "business end" pointing toward
the road. They'll get the idea.
Heh! I had a friggin' van-load of them come to my little ranch one day,
all suited up for "business".
I happened to be pruning trees with my chainsaw that day. I was dirty,
covered with sawchips, and draggin' on a cigarette when they pulled up.
Now... I speak the King's English just fine, but when I saw what they
were, I kind of limp-walked toward them with one leg dragging a little,
the RUNNING chainsaw hanging from my right hand, and the weed dangling
out of one corner of my mouth. Gently twitching the throttle on the saw,
I squinted harshly at them and asked, "Kin Ah hep you move thet thang
offn' my proppity?"
They moved it rather quickly, thank you! <G>

I always wanted to get a Dracula cape and helmet with horns to don
whenever they came to the door. When answering the door use my most
evil voice to invite them in because I need someone to sacrifice.

I had a batch of them show up one sunny Saturday afternoon, a Saturday
afternoon where a pair of lady friends had come over and we were all
...ah...er..playing.
When I peeped out the window at the knock...we all 3 of us answered the
door, au naturale..and as one had worn lipstick...it was obvious that
all three of us were "otherwise engaged" from the lipstick marks here
and there
They never came back.
Sigh..to be young again...snivel...

Reminds me of the time I was involved with certain gal who had a bit
of a temper. In bed, I started kissing her bare bottom and after each
kiss, I shouted ONE, smack, TWO, smack.... she ask what I was doing
and I said "QUIET!" THREE, smack, FOUR, smack..all the way to twelve.
Now, I explained, the next time you become angry with me and tell me
to kiss your ass, I can honestly say "I've kissed your ass a dozen
times, what more do you want?"

>I'm surprised nonLED flashlights are being manufactured/sold at all.
I find them to be common, and to be commonly offered for sale at most
retail establishments where one can buy flashlights, even as of early
2010.
Do keep in mind that some flashlight "brands" have an interest in
battery (or "cell") sales, and may have a profit motive to sell
less-energy-efficient ones.
Also, keep in mind that a flashlight delivering a beam as bright as that
achieved with a PR-2 incandescent lamp is still more expensive to
manufacture with LEDs as opposed to a PR-2 incandescent lamp, especially
when considering the cost of voltage-boost circuitry for a bright white
LED flashlight working well and reliably from 1 or 2 1.5V cells.
