<p>From the description i can see how someone who doesn't know lamps can think its 50" if not measured and to some a grande is a 'massive lamp' and can be heavy.<br/><br/>The people who have a colossus should have more knodladge of lava and would probably say that its a colossus.</p>

<p>I knew something was wrong, but I was hoping the measure was good and the picture wasn't.</p>
<p>We're not talking about 1 inch error here, how could someone could advert 50" when it's 27"?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is the original add:</p>
<blockquote><div style="text-align: center;">Here im am selling a VERY MASSIVE!!! lava lamp</div>

<p>Haha lol</p>
<p>I reckon the seller didn't measure it and just gused, from the start it was quite ovivious that it wasn't a collousses - it was too good to be true and also the picture says everything.<br></br><br></br>Its good you found out now without having to come over hear just for a grande - to say that sucks would be very much a understatement.</p>

<p>Thanks Coyote</p>
<p>it is about 84cm! Yes that's tall indeed.</p>
<p>Anyone selling a Colossus at the price of an Astro deserve my business, even if too lazy to take a pic. :-)</p>
<p>But only if I'm sure the lamp he's selling is the one described on the add.</p>
<p>This is not the case yet, and I would give up if I don't get the pictures I asked him...</p>

<p>The pic is a grande agreed. Anyone who is selling something, and is too lazy or whatever to take a pic of the actual item, does not deserve the business. I just went and measured my Colossus globe, and it's 33" (just the globe) give or take an inch. No way that's going to fit in your trunk. Not vertically anyway. If it will, that's one hell of a trunk!! lol...</p>

<p>I still maintain, seat belting him in the front seat will be fine. Its over 100 lbs, and will sink down in the seat a fair bit just as a person would. You don't worry about a passenger falling all over the place sitting in the seat next to you do you? Although, it's a moot point if it is a grande.</p>
