Q Siren - $1200
It's not a Q; It's in horrible shape, and unless it's made out of platinum or 14K (or greater) gold, it's not worth $1200. And, this guy thinks Federal Enterprises, inc. is now Federl Mogal (they mfg spark plugs, car headlights, and other auto parts. Oh, I forgot to mention...it's a Model WL Q siren.

Local craigslist had a all-light street hawk, pretty beat up, with switch box for 500! I emailed them to tell him I got my fully populated Liberty for less than that

The picture does not match the verbage in the title..
The pic and description is of a rotating version, which is much less expensive.
Fail all the way around.
The price listed is Whelen's list price for the LED version.

wow... wonder if the 2 are related to the guy who wans $300 for an off brand used strobe kit that i posted? that MX aint even worth $200 and that vector bar might fetch 75
EDIT: i just emailed the guy about the vector asking him to come down on his price and he emailed me back saying he sold it for $450. my jaw dropped when i read that. i wouldnt have paid that much for it. not even if i had money flowing out my ass

He must be... that guy is always listing things on Craigslist. He has an MX bar that is custom with three power supplies. He wants like 1300$ for it as that is what he paid for the supplies alone. He use to claim he is only in business to help fellow firefighters. More like screw the folks not smart enough to go elsewhere! Hell under his "clearance" section he has old dashmisers for 160$!!! That is a deal? Used ISP188 supplies for 349$!!! WTF? I got mine for less than 50$ off of eBay. Check out his site and you will all laugh. I don't understand how you are helping a fellow firefighter with those prices...

He's pretty local to me. He posts about 10 Craigslist ads a day. I've talked on the phone with him a couple times. His prices have always been that outrageous

So Tom, if you have talked to him a couple of times what is his deal? Does he not realize that he is on glue with his prices??

I think he buys all of his parts (lenses, power supplies, etc) for his Frankenbars direct from Whelen. I'm sure he pays all outdoors to redo them, then still wants to turn a profit.
But I know he is also a dealer for Uniforms Warehouse and I see that he is now claiming that the lights from there are made in the USA :ugh:
Like this one:
[Broken External Image]:http://www.lightbarliquidators.com/200_149_csupload_38429440.jpg?u=573066696
He is selling it for $999.95, and he claims it is made in the USA, when the same exact bar can be purchased here for only $279.99 :duh:
I don't know what his deal is. At these prices, he can't be making that many sales.... It's funny though because he bought 4 AWL LED Hide Aways off of me for his own Suburban lol

$73 for one pop in amber strobe. ST413PA- Star Amber Flash Tube Strobe Flasher Beacon Light Lamp | eBay
Fire Dept. light bar
anyone want to buy an Edge for $450?
Blue light for sale
or a mini-edge for 350? which appears to be a mini-edge mounted onto a full edge frame or something strange like that.

This guy is so annoying...I live in the Boston area, and I used to search CL on a regular basis, but I stopped because of the constant (and identical) ads he runs. I've tried flagging as overposts, but it never does any good. His prices aren't all that bad...he has a Twinsonic that he says is the same style as used on squad 51 from tv for $199.95. Gee...not a bad price for a CTS. Or, is it a case that he has no idea what he's talking about? Speaking of not knowing what he's talking about, in his CL ads as well as on his website, he refers to Aerodynics as an "aerodyne". What the hell is an aerodyne??? (Sorry for the sarcasm.)

I think I remember this stuff from school:
- An aircraft that is lighter than air is called an aerostat.
- An aircraft that is heavier than air is called an aerodyne.

This guy has lost his mind, I pray no one buys anything from him. His prices need to come with some lube.
