Pretty rare, yes for those that work and are unbroken. In good shape, they can fetch $40-50 or so--actually, they seem to be worth more than the overhead itself.

Re: over head console flashlight? rare?

I have 2 that work with good tabs and one I've use for parts.Actually when the contacts are clean and with a new bulb/batteries they work well for emergency lights.One thing they don't like is being left in the console pocket if the car is sitting in the sun for extended periods of time.
