I have been looking for a long time for a 4050-80. I want to know if anyone knows someone who has or has a 4050-80 for sale.
Best of luck: they are rare as heck, & when one does come up for sale the community pounces on it immediately.
The best advice I have is patients. I spent over 6 years looking before I finally found one recently, and it’s not guaranteed to come with a horn either. Ebay would be the best place to find one. Sometimes you can find one with the correct keywords, they may not always be listed as a 4050-80 light plate, I’ve seen them marketed as just “simplex light plate”, I’ve also seen them listed as “simplex 4050”. If I’d known several years ago that the 4050-80 light plate would become very rare, I would’ve bought a lot. They’re used to be listings for 4050-80 light plates with horns for like $50.
thanks for the info! i’ll keep my eyes peeled for one. although i dont know if i will even be able to find one.
I just found one for sale on eBay. It’s $250 tho and it’s a bidding war so best of luck for ya
saw that. got bought by a friend, shame a couldn’t get it being it was a -60 plate. (apperently it sold for 350 what the hell?)
Nah that’s too crazy. People take the max amount (or what they think is the max) that they are worth and sell them for that much. You can find one for cheap but idk how cheap. I js bought a simplex 2903-9001 light plate for $50 while the others were $100 and better yet they’re strobe plates.
people (especially other collectors) love to price gouge and find the highest price they can logically list something for. it’s a shame but its also an easy way to make a quick buck for them
Yeah but I’m not crazy enough to buy a 4050-80 for that much. Besides if they’re building ripouts and I find a 4050-80 I’m taking it if they let me. It’s literally more worth waiting for a cheaper price rather than buying it for a crapload of money
