Overpriced lamps on eBay!

*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.

Apparently not since I sold every globe.

So what your saying is that your listing was over priced?

Ya, that one. Me helping someone on a limited income. Still good for two years ago. No complaints on my end. Like I said last year, I never expected to get $525. You have to go a little high to have room to bargain. Everyone wants a deal, and gets one at a couple hundred off the asking price. They're happy, and I'm happy. It's an excellent price, for a rare globe. Still might be more than you'd pay, but I would sell those all day long for $300, without thinking twice.

Hey folks,

I know Travis as kngbidder back from a number of years ago. He's paid very handsomely for some lava collectibles himself.

What started out as a contest and a post to laugh a little has turned into something where a a debate and justification is going back and forth.

I'll still state, If buyer and seller agree upon a price. It's fair between them. No one is held to the stone with an axe.

A friendly debate is one thing, but it's causing this topic to veer off it's initial impetus.

I'm going to ask you to split the debate off and keep it cool and friendly.

Fair enough Weeb. I said all I wanted to say anyway. No offense to anyone on here. I love lava lamps, and theyll always have a special place in my heart. The lava lamp is what started my obsession for collecting, and I wouldn't be where I am now on eBay, and have all the incredible collectibles if it weren't for my first lava lamp.

Next up, this gem. While I do indeed love this lamp, I have scored two FROM FRANCE, with shipping, for less than this. That being said, this would be a neat one to own:
