Re: 87 GTA flashlight

Well, now I can't find the darned things! They used to be in a drawer in my office but the office has been cleaned and rearranged since I last saw them.

Now, searching through the active and completed listings on eBay shows me that few of these come up for sale, and most of the ones that do appear are used and with the Camaro script. One used Camaro version sold for $45 BIN. Someone had an NOS Camaro one on there for $150, but that's nuts.

Let me search the classifieds here and see if I can find any others that have sold to determine a fair price. I'm not trying to play games, I just don't like to price stuff unless I can do some research and not cheat myself while offering a fair price to the buyer.

I'll also ask my wife if she's seen the three boxes with these inside.

Re: 87 GTA flashlight

Cute but in all honesty I cant justify paying more than $20 for a little flashlight.
Top consoles sell for less than $40 in good shape.

That's fine with me. They don't take up any room at my place. Eventually, someone restoring a Firebird will be willing to pay good money for a NOS piece.

I am sure that you will be able to find a used one in your price range.

Good luck in the search!

Re: 87 GTA flashlight

Thank you, I dont mean to be rude about the price.
Its funny that I thought about this flashlight now, cause I got most parts needed locally for fair price (considering the part) and some on here.
Never gave much effort into looking for it but Im sure to find one.
For now there are small mods to finish with.

Re: 87 GTA flashlight

Oh no, you didn't come across as being rude, but it's good of you to be considerate like that.

Pricing parts is distasteful to me, and I can understand not wanting to pay a lot for a little flashlight. I bought the three of them a few years ago because they are hard to find, especially in NOS condition.

I am sure you will find what you are looking for. The search is often part of the fun of the hobby.

Locating individual pieces for the overhead is farily difficult, even used, a NOS piece nearly impossible (the only NOS piece I've ever seen is the pouch). BTW, I sold a near mint flash light for $45.

trans,

If you don't mind missing clips, I have one in your price range. Check the classifieds.

Correction: now you've seen the NOS lights, too

I guess the rarity is why the Canadian seller on eBay has them listed for $150. But, I believe he'll sit on them a good long while at that price!
