i've got the freeplay one above. Was £25 I think.

Has two light levels - bright and normal. Winding it to get lots of charge for bright would be hard work. You can also charge it using the supplied mains adaptor (nullifies the point of it though!).

The normal brightness would be bring enough for nighttime in a tent when camping for example....but you'd need the bright to light a path to the campsite toilets probably.

Ah, ok....not an Ebay user, so hadn't spotted the P&P.
Is that how these people "hide" the true cost? Using P&P?

Just wondering if you emailed the chap, whether he'd send you 500 @ 95p with £low postage.

thats how they usually do it and i think it says p+p is a fixed 4.99- i think this means thats no matter how many u buy u will pay 4.99 postage for each item.

wen the price is cheap this is usually the case. other sellers will offer a discount on multiple orders if the product is priced correctly
