Opal Fluidium on ebay UK...read this before bidding

[Arne]

Hey just in case someone here is after this beautiful looking opal fluidium, ask the seller for a real pic first as the one he used is my pic....somehow...

The seller does point out that its not the actual picture of the item though but still I find it a tiny bit misleading.

Guys,  as some of you might already know, I was the lucky winning bidder for the Opal Fluidium which sold on ebay last week.

I've just looked at my sellers pictures again and guess what......they used your photo too Arne !!

I badgered the seller several times to post or email me some photos of the real lamp, paying particular attention to the colour of the wax.  They eventually posted two images in addition to yours.  After the auction ended the seller emailed me in astonishment at how much I had bid on the item.......little do some sellers realise what they have for sale or the importance of the condition of these lamps and the need to see real pictures.

 

Obviously this seller has an incling of its worth with a starting bid of £60 and a reserve, so you would think they'd show real pictures of it..........maybe the seller has something to hide, i.e. the wax has become discoloured ??
