Look what I bought today.

I found/bought a set of headlights that I thought were pretty cool at a swap meet today. Can you guys & girls tell me if I got a good deal or not? I ain't gonna say what I paid for 'em just yet, I want to see what they are worth & if I got a good deal. I have not cleaned them up yet, I just got them home. Any chance these are repop or are they originals? the headlight ring has Electroline series 2200 cast into it & they seem to be pot metal (I thought they were aluminum at first but not so sure anymore). there is a cast like they would have a light on the top but it is cast in solid, no hole for a lens. What do you think, did I get lucky or did I get ripped?

 

you won't post what you paid for them, but you want to know if you got a good deal?

 

Cool lights. Foreign truck maybe?

 

I think I saw that those were used on big trucks like todays semis in the 40's.

Neat lights.

Why won't you spill what you paid? $100?

 

Those are worth a fortune.

Originals for sure.

 

If you paid more than 30.00 you got jacked. Happy??

 

You can put lipstick and a dress on a what's it worth thread, but it's still a what's it worth thread. In drag.

 

I reread my post & it is worded screwy, Sorry I am 1/2 asleep, just kinda excited about these lights. as to what I paid, I would rather not look like an idiot if these turn out to be a easy to get repop set of lights that I paid too much for. I was gonna put 33/34 commercial lights on my A Tudor but I might use these now instead. they have an art deco look to them I think. I mostly want to know if they are repop or not, I don't want to tell people they are a 19XX whatever if they are a brand new repop light. I do not have anything against repop parts, just dont want to try to pass repop off as original.

 

Do they look like repops??? No. I think your fishing.

 

pointless

 

'Ive had 5 or 6 sets of these lights . Got a set on my '32 Roadster now . Sold a few on eBay . Prices were higher a couple of years ago . Sold some for $1000 to $1500 a pair . Seem to be about $800+ for a pair now...........Z.

 

Swapmeet in Canada eh ! My guess is you paid $180.00. Worth a lot more. The pic,s you made will do fine on Ebay.

 

Don't use them for now. Use them forever. They are SWEET !

 

But you'd be happy to look like a king if it turns out you got a bargain....

 

if you don't say how much you paid, how can anybody tell you if you got a good deal or not??? if you already bought them and did pay to much, so what!!! your stuck with them. if you like em, then your all set. but if you bought them thinkin you were gonna re sell them and make a killin, and are now fishin for prices, well then i hope you paid too much!

 

So far this thread has given me a headache

 

The lenses are worth $4.00 each, the reflectors about $2.50 each and the housings about $20.00 for the pair. So if you paid more than $33.00 for the pair then, yep, he seems to be fishing. Here's what I'll do for you, give me $35.00, throw the lights in the garbage and 2 of will be happy. Who are the 2 guys that'll be happy? Me and the guy you gave the $33.00 too. This thread should be blocked.

 

If you wanna go fishin. Go to the lake already.

This is just as bad as 32 3 window thread.

Lame thread.

 

and let me guess.now i gotta come back to this thread to see what you paid for these when i could be doin somethin else.i hate bein played

 

Its like a bad gameshow.Like avintage price is right but you dont win anything. these guys are just shooffs. I like the pics and story but I dont understand the whole fantasy bidding they expect us all to do.

 

american-lafrance fire truck

 

So is there actual car parts at this years swap meet in Barrie? Last year it was nothing but socks and old clothes....

 

....ooh ooh ooh, those lights are the super rare "Mondo Super Inflated Ego Illuminators"!!!

Looks like they work well.

 

I bought this yesterday from the original owner.
He told me it ran when parked and is a rare "one off" Factory Kustom.
I think I got a good deal,it took all the cash in my wallet,a box of depends and a case of ensure to get it from him.
Did I get a good deal,or did I pay too much?

 

Look up similar items on Ebay and set your reserve price accordingly..........

 

Are those off Darryl Starbirds Superflex Moonbeam? If so they're pretty rare and worth a lot of money. Well not Canadian Money, but real money.

 

depends if the steering wheel is bent or not

 

I don't give a rip what you paid for them or what they are worth, they are pretty cool looking in my book and I'd damned well run a set if I had them.

The next guy who posts one of these "what's it worth" posts is going to have to dig out the grease pit.

 

I agree.What a waste of bandwidth and time.
You don,t want to look like an idiot for paying too much but you look like an idiot for this post.
End of rant.
