While not necessarily rare, and probably a good number are still in service (I know of one house with 2 and an SA1839WN), but this is by far the most expensive smoke alarm I’ve purchased.
A smoke alarm shaped Popsicle, my favorite :lol: . That’s just the shipping box and not the reason why it was so expensive. It’s just your average SA86RAC. Box is worn, but the smoke works just fine.
What made it so expensive? Well it was listed on eBay for $5.00 and up until the day the auction was ending I was the only bidder. Than someone who was either very determined, or was someone who doesn’t care for me and somehow figured out I bid decided to outbid me. Being somewhat competitive, I quickly outbid them, and a bidding war ensued (I apologize if it was anyone here trying to snag it). I ended up paying way too much for it, but I’m still happy with it.
