Your ultimate bargain?

[Modulo '70]

Thought i'd start a discussion about what you consider to be your ultimate lava/glitter/fibre bargain. Whether it be at a garage/car boot sale, on Ebay or something found at an old junk store let us know and make us jealous perhaps.

Mathmos Space Projector - Ebay buy it now $10.00/£5.00 anyone?? Snapped up a month or two back.

I found a Coca-Cola Premiere Edition Polar Bear Base and Cap at Goodwill today for $12.00. It is only the base and cap, (no globe included, but I have several spares to use.) Not bad for that price. It is very heavy ceramic and it is numbered #83 of 10,000.

Nice one Dave, keep up the good work

I'm sure you'll be able to match up a suitable globe Manix

Nice one!

oh and you can tell that from ONE picture,

You must be the expert of mathmos products then, you will obviously know that its a rare lamp whatever the condition and £35 is still cheap for it.

[Version-2]

well we will see when it arrives,

Lol, now that's what i call a haul of lampy lovlies. good find.

Mine - a BNIB purple/white silver aristocrat for $10.  No shipping as I found it at a flea market.  He wanted $15.... I (shamelessly) haggle.  Found a BNIB silver century the previous weekend, but someone swapped globes and the globe is horrendous (but a screw top).  $5 for that one.  The base is still wrapped in plastic and pristine.
