I'll go first I picked up a beacon ray 176 for $36 at antique mall, I got a 12 strobe whelen ultra for $65 on Craigslist. Those are my 2 best buys so far.
What was the best deal you ever got on a beacon, lightbar, or...

I got a Tomar Heliobe strobe for around $50, including the parts I had to get for it. Also, I paid $80 for a near-NOS 54" Candystriped Aerodynic.
As of this day, I have not spent over $100 on a lightbar.

I found a Mini LFL laying on the side of the road, must have flown off of a vehicle.
Only had to replace a endcap. The one I found is the top mini lfl in the picture
