Mon. I won a Surefire C3 Centurion advertised as "NEW IN THE BOX". Seller said it was a b-day gift and he didn't want/need it. It arrived today with no batteries. If you order a Surefire direct from them, it comes with batteries. Last Surefire I bought in a store came with batteries. Surefire has their own type of batteries. So does this guy's item description as "NEW IN THE BOX" imply it will arrive in the same condition (as in with batteries included) as buying a Surefire direct from the manufacturer or a dealer? His ad made no mention of batteries, but I thought NIB meant it would come with them.
