For Sale: Pre-WW2 Battery Rear lights

Posted on
  • When I posted about these lights in a thread, I got a couple of reactions and contacted the seller.
    I figured more of you might be interested.

    I can get my hands on 11 of these nice pre-WW2 battery rearlights:

    NOS I think or as far as that matters.
    They used to take batteries somewhat bigger than AA, but AA will fit too he said.

    He won't go lower than €25,- (x 11 = €275 = £225) and since my bankaccount isn't really making me feel like Vladimir Lisin at the moment, I was thinking about starting a list to see who wants them.
    Put yourself on it if you actually want one and I'll contact you as soon as I have them.

    Price will be £24 + £2,50 / £5 posted from The Netherlands (don't know the actual weight yet).
    This means, minus gas, I'll make a £30 profit on these, which is about 1 light + 10pounds for the effort. Fair enough?

  • Forgot to say I'll pick them up this weekend or beginning of next.

  • sorry Björn but I didn't realise they'd be that expensive =(

    not got that much cash to spare at the moment and the bike I was thinking of fitting it to cost £80

    thanks muchly for investigating though, they do look awesome, but I'm working on a DIY solution which should also be quite elegant and cost more like £3

  • I'll take one please

  • Ah, no worries, Fox!
    Rather stupid of me not to contact you about this upfront.
    I will contact Tofeelthefire about this too.
