If you don't know what you're selling, blow smoke. :D
It reads like one of those AI (Artificial Ignorance) posts.

So what is a Strob-O-Spark worth today? I know someone will say its value is what someone will pay, but has one of these come up for sale recently? I'm just curious. Thanks Russ Furstnow

Interesting read, apparently the item being sold can be used on all cars.

According to the Strobo-Spark instructions, this device is better than the HCCT. I guess there is even something better on the market?

I wish I could get replacement decals for my Strobe-a-Spark. Mine have worn off. Dan

This is off topic I am certain, a quick google search with - custom reproduction decals - indicated that there are places where replacement decals for your strobe-a-spark could be reproduced. Maybe others are in the same need, and a bulk request could be made?

If you have a good image of the decal, you can buy water slide decal paper and make your own decals with a color printer / scanner.

As far as "true value" goes, I know of one that just recently sold for $275.
I believe the original price was $350.

I just have to think somewhere there is a box of unused decals setting on a shelf. Think I will call Birdhaven Monday and see. I know John Regan didn’t make decal sets one at a time.

Wait- they aren't making them anymore?

IF you don't know what this is - I have a few videos on youtube on them. I use mine on all coils!
