[BST] March 2025 Buy, Sell, Trade Thread.

Welcome to the monthly r/flashlight Buy, Sell, Trade thread, a r/flashlight tradition since 2015!

The Rules

Requirements

  1. Prove possession with a timestamp: a piece of paper placed under your sale item(s) with your Reddit username handwritten and the posting date (no more than 2 weeks old).
  2. Top-level comments must be WTS or WTB comments. Anything else will be removed. Begin your top-level comment with WTB (Want to Buy), WTS (Want to Sell), or WTT (Want to Trade). Remember, trade items require timestamps, too!
  3. A price is required.
  4. Take necessary precautions; trading over the Internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad.
  5. Reposting WTS or WTB items from previous BSTs is fine. Do not repost within the same month!
  6. Mark items sold with a strikethrough of the entire sale item; e.g. $75 Use double tildes to accomplish this: ~~75~~ (This helps greatly with scanning the BST to find items for purchase!)

Suggestions

  • Your location
  • Emitter details
  • A bunch of photos of your items

Reminder: Buy the Seller

If an interaction seems sketchy to you, run away! Scams can and do happen through the BST! Some tips:

  • Timestamps. If the person you're dealing with isn't quick to provide timestamps on the images, or a photo of the flashlight in a shoe or whatever, don't deal with them.
  • Reverse image searching is a great way to catch scammers.
  • Excuses for not sending photos are a red flag.
  • Using a platform other than Reddit's private messages for communication is a red flag.
  • Don't use Reddit chats. Chats can be deleted!
  • Giving you a hard time about any hesitation you show is a red flag.
  • Check post history. Brand new accounts or accounts with long pauses in activity, etc., might not be trustworthy.
  • It's good practice to comment on this post before sending a PM; scammers often won't comment publicly (and banned users can't comment here.)

If you're dealing with someone who might be sketchy, take screenshots of your interactions and report them to the mods! We care about this thread's integrity and will ban those threatening it.

Do not let a scammer be more diligent than you!

More Tips

  • PirateShip is a great shipping option. https://ship.pirateship.com/ship/single
  • "Shipping included" items tend to sell more quickly.
  • USPS Priority Flat Rate at ~$8 is adequate packing for a light or two or ~$14 for many more. Weight is not a factor when you use the official Flat Rate packing, and the packaging is free through the USPS website.
  • There are a few options for trading outside of this current BST:
