Do Boiler Lamps belong here?

[Chris Lea]

Hi folks,
Just doing a bit of self-advertising - desperate for a few sales!!!
LOL
I've just put one of those boiler lamps on eBay - the thing that spirals a tube of fluid upwards and appears to make it boil.
It here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3304803929...

And it got me wondering if these boiler lamps can be classed as lava lamps or are they just far-flung relatives?

[Erin]

No problem. :) I always ask just in case someone is willing to sell it outright. If you change your mind, PM me. Otherwise I'll just bid! 

[Erin]

Ebay in the US?

[Chris Lea]

Yep - it's here at:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LUMI-GEYSER-LAMP-/390248053388?pt=UK_HomeGard... or at least I guess that's the one.

And I've also got a USB one - about 5" tall. Think that changes colour.

A couple of other photos (which are on eBay) of the lamp for those who don't follow eBay.

[Erin]

Whatever. *I* look forward to winning your auction. :)

[Erin]

ZOMG! I bid! I'm going to WINNNNNNNNNNN!

Ok, I know I won't win this, but a girl can dream, right?

[Chris Lea]

OMG - when your life comes down to budgies and lava lamps.....!!
Sad indeed!!!
Nah - only joking!
Love the birdies - used to breed them - bred worse than rabbits!
Many thanks callisto9 for opening the bidding - what can I say but GOOD LUCK!

And don't you lot fall out over the bidding!
A good clean fight please!

[Erin]

I loooooooooove parakeets. :)

I know I won't win this. I'd bid higher in the end if it weren't for the shipping. I'd really *love* to have this lamp, but I know I won't win it. :)

[Chris Lea]

Hey - get me a lift over the pond and I'll bring it with me - and I won't charge any extra!!
LOL
Just checked the surface mail prices and quite honestly they're not a lot less - might save £5 and lose about 6 weeks.
Hope your pockets are deep and your thoughts are generous!

[Erin]

I will consider a plane flight for you...

[Chris Lea]

I'm open to your offer but I bet I'll have to flap my arms like hell....!!!!!
PS - I weigh a lot more than a parakeet!!
LOL

[Erin]

I will trade you a parakeet for that lamp.

OK, I won't.
