Default LightbarValue? (before I purchase)

I have found a Jestsonic Lightbar that is correctly configured (I think) with the inline rotators and outboard takedowns for my FHP. The bar is functional and internally looks to be in very good shape, externally the domes need replaced and it has the wrong mounting brackets installed. I have the parts to replace the mounts.

It was offered to me at $250, is that a fair price? Since I'm new to the SSP scene I need your advice. Thanks!

Ron,

You can buy those all day long for $100. For comparison, I have three NOS bars (one Cal-spec) and the most I paid for any of those was $250 (new in the original box).

+1 anything over 200.00 for a JS is too much. I too bought an FHP spec bar that is like new for 175.00.

there are a billion of them out there too so don't let anyone tell you they are rare, yada yada.

Where is the best place to look for light bars and that kind of ex-police stuff?
