Neat or Rare Closed eBay Sales

[Erin]

I thought I'd start a post on neat / rare eBay lava and glitter sales. Sometimes it's nice to remember the sale of a really cool or hardly-seen item.

Please only post completed/closed eBay auctions - please don't post any open sales!

I'll start off with the Princess wall model lava that sold tonight. Anyone here get this? :)

If you post to this thread with a completed auction, please try to include a screen shot, not a link. After so many months eBay removes auctions and for historical purposes, it'd be nice to see what sold.

It's very odd. I saw that, too. I guess it's worth whatever they paid for it, but this person spends 100s if not 1000s a month on lamps (it's that same person we can't identify). They are jacking up the price of lamps beyond belief!!!! This is the same person who got the double Florence Art, the Gemlite, and the green Florence Art-like lamp a few weeks back. I'm afraid none of us has a chance against this person's arsenal of cash. 

But I think this person had a high bid in of $500+ and the 2nd highest bidder at the last moment went for $420. 

I'm coming for you o***c (737)!

I am quite curious as to whom this person is, I don't think it is one of us, and they seem to prefer glitters.  Do you think it is possibly someone from the other site under a different user name than they previously had?

I've noticed that too! PRETTY annoying not to have this kind of $$$ to spend on lamps...

BTW, even though I searched for ''glitter lamps'' and ''lava lamps'', this particular lamp didn't appear in my search. Do you know why??

Well, none of the lamps ever show up here. And this person is almost likely from the US. It could be Bryin.

Do you filter anything out? For instance, when I look for lava lamps, I omit a lot of stuff. My search looks like this:

lava lamp -disney -USB -keychain -wave -lip -gloss -necklace -key -chain -university -college -print -state -bomb -shirt -pottery -pens -column -curtain -bartender -stamp -ripple -kendall -LED -univ -nightlight -yarn -fabric -rubber -yoville -pen -alloy -aluminum -bands -bandz -orbitz -vinylmation

Do you use the " - " to omit anything?

Well, I omit everything except lamps. Is that the problem?

No, shouldn't be. 

[Isabelle Martin]

I SO don't get it... :-(

I thought it looked chocolate also ;)  Good buy even if it isn't

Not sure if this is deemed rare enough to qualify, but I had wanted one of these since I saw Lamphead's Spencers display.  Added bonus is that it comes with a snakeskin safari.  I am very suspicious of the lava color (in a very good way) - looks somewhat chocolatey.  Item number 370595668516.  A little surprised I didn't even need to fight for this one.

I bow down to the DooDad Man on this one.  He had it pegged.  Globe is a #02.  I am still delighted with the purchase.  One bigger scuff was just a little left over adhesive which has already been cleaned off.  The display stand is in excellent condition and that was my main reason for bidding on the auction (the lamp was gravy).  The base itself is flawless, and is actually in better shape than the one I already have.  I plan to display either an Aztec or Princess in the display stand.  Lava Brand logo is painted on, not a sticker.

Grumble :( Congrats o***l (don't want to keep calling you out...). I tried for this one...

Another rarity I lost today.
