The lenses were probably swapped around at some point, possibly by the seller.
They/Them for me, please.

Has someone ever learned marketing before?

Also, someone is choosing to sell these trucks and assuming the model date is 2020, but the model dates in question were discontinued in October 2005, some models have been built in an updated version of the model in 2016, but i assume these models only get built for special purposes.

$300 seems to be a fair price... or does it, considering i need to buy visors.

Definitely at least twice the price of what I'd be willing to pay for it.

how about the price on this wrrs mechanical bell? It sure does need restoration, but is $149.99 really worth it for a bell that needs work?

Definitely, especially since its rusty, missing the base, and because you’d need lock cutters...

That guy looks like he's sat at the bottom of a lake for a while, IMHO. $150 might not be a bad price for a WRRS in good shape, but that guy would be worth about half of that or so, at best, IMHO. Especially if the equipment inside is in unknown condition.

This Teardrop bell is on the market for around $449, which kinda seems a little overpriced IMO, shipping will cost you up to $161, overall you'd be paying $610 for this overall, Eek!

$120 seems a bit high for a bell that has a broken latch and a missing base, IMO.

Also, $375 is way too much for a WRRS bell without a base and being unrestored.
