First off, I could not figure out what to call this. It looks like a flashlight; but not. It has the room of a pen, and the size. It feels like you could chuck it at a wall and not hurt it.... *Confused* Is it a pen, or a flashlight? :can:

Whatever.

PHR @ 105 mA with a v5 FlexDrive.
It runs off of 2 AAAs (1.5v)

Tail clicky button. Not momentary.

(If anybody was interested, I could build them one for the cost of parts + 25 bucks)
If I did that, there would be a few things I would change, like the AixiZ module would be in the whole way, not sticking out.
I would also use a Rckstr drive, with 3.6v lithiums. I could still use a Flex, if you wanted.
PM me if so.

I hate to say this, but the market here on LPF is not the same as it used to be.
Nobody wants to pay for hard work anymore. The members here are spoiled by the cheap-as-dirt generic types and now say that $70 for a >100mW PHR, flex, and some sweat is too much.
I haven't been able to sell my (awesome) pen builds... I know it's because my prices were too high... but I can't break-even if I sell 'em for what the Chinese off-brands are priced at...
You won't have much luck selling here...
Everyone seems to think that if an item is sold for more than cost of a diode and driver it is too expensive
The argument is always, "I can get a piece o' crap on DX for less! LOL!"

Hard work has no value.
Ingenuity has no value.

$105 is a decent price for a PHR build. I did the math, he would only be making $30 profit. You're telling me that's a lot?
