Seem's a little too much! I know it's 1920-1930's Crouse Hinds signals but still.

Mislabeled polycarbonate 12 inch McCain with what's probably custom, hack-job wiring and an LED red light? Yea, that's overpriced for sure.

EDIT: Here's another doozy, check out how they mounted the cover of the junction box! :LOL3:

Unrelated, but here are some fair prices on quite a couple of bells. Shipping is also pretty reasonable too.

Price here seems ok, but you're probably gonna go way out of your budget looking for spare visors (description says 2 are missing and one visor is cracked) and it seems if you want to get this thing working you'll have to rewire it from scratch.

3K for a LED traffic signal collection? Seems overpriced.

$3k for 30 of those when a single signal can sometimes sell for over $200? Yeah, that's a bargain and fair-priced.

Age probably has something to do with that one.

The thing is, Decos like that are almost a dime a dozen on the collectors market, with just about every collector having at least one. Hell, I even have on myself that I got for $100, including shipping. Other traffic signal collectors also agree that it's overpriced (want to say most people'd value them around $100 to $200 depending on the condition, maybe $400 to $600 for an entire cluster like that, at least IMHO).

Anyways, here's an early Federal Signal 12 inch light that I'd probably jump on for the price alone, even if it does lack the background and visor, since early Federal Signal lights like this seem to be hard to find...
However... uh...
Just take a look for yourself:
