Overpriced lamps on eBay!

[Autumn]

*edit

Any lamp is fair game now, not just the beatles and harley lamps. This thread has grown far beyond my expectations! 0.0

I really dont understand why these are always listed for ridiculous amounts. I see them all the time for $100 buy it now. I have a harley lamp and I want to sell it because I dont like it. Someone locally tried to sell me a beatles lamp for $100. Are these people nuts? Why do they all seem to list them for stupidly high prices?

Anyways I thought it would be fun to see who can find the most over priced harley davidson or beatles submarine lamp.

I am setting the bar really high.

I still want a Jet very badly, but the shipping is what's stopping me. :( But yeah, that's too much!

that is one grim lamp!

[Erin]

Oh yeah, saw that. Ridiculous.

The seller originally had it listed for $50 bucks at auction and it didnt sell. A BIN for $120 sounds like a better deal! LOL

I had one of these when I was 15 and my mom threw it away. :(

[Autumn]

I told him its very rare and that he should relist it for $400.

[Erin]

I would!

I know! the bottle isnt even a Astro! I rekon the seller was given this and it just happened to be in a Mathmos box. No-one in 'the know' would embarass themselves by such a blatant lie!!

[Autumn]

But it has a pointed top so that makes it rare. Surely someone here will buy it!!

[Ford Prefect - NPNG]

good point! maybe I could do a sideline in unusual caps. just buy a cheapo lamp, bash the cap into various shapes and sell as 'rare'. well, i wouldnt be lying now would i? :D

Scarier, is the dumb ass who just paid $400 for it!!
