::UPDATE::
The monster bar arrived today and I am not disappointed! Okay, I'm a little disappointed that the endcaps got destroyed in shipping (go figure, I'll get new ones, see the last picture), but everything else is just as it should be. The 72 inch bar has 7 rotators with V-mirrors and nothing else. There's an open space on the driver's side where a V-mirror should be, but wasn't (refer to third and fourth pictures), and I'm guessing some sort of Opti-Com was mounted there. There is no wiring harness and no lenses, but the bar and the rotators themselves are entirely complete. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun putting this thing back together. It's on my couch for reference. This thing is gigantic.

The destroyed endcaps. Broken the entire way through.
::OP::
I found this 72-inch AdvantEdge on *bay (while completely inebriated) and I low-balled the seller something fierce. And he accepted it! From what I can see, it's a 7-rotator bar that's complete minus the wiring and the lenses. It should be here early next week, at which point I'll tear it apart and make a list of stuff that it needs.

Good god man, thats borderline ridiculous! Nice score brotha
For being inebriated you did well! When I'm beered up pushing the buy button comes waaaay too easy.
It is ridiculous, isn't it? Not quite sure where I'm going to put it, as there's barely enough room in my apartment for minibars, but at $200 shipped, there is no way that I COULDN'T buy it. The asking price was $400+shipping but I think the seller really just wanted it gone, as the offer I made was accepted within hours.

I had been eyeballing that one but ended up grabbing a 72" Aerohawk for pennies...which is good...because it needs domes...which are very expensive lol. Nice grab for sure on that one though.
I'm surprised you didn't jump on this one, Steve! It was a great deal but I'm probably looking at a good chunk of change for the parts this bar will need. I'm looking forward to seeing that AeroHawk though, those things are awesome.
