[Gwen Williams]

can you post a link to the two you are talking about?

It may be different in other areas, but the clear black is one of the most common colors in my area.  I see it all the time in all ages of globes.  Though there have been some very common lamps going for insane prices lately, I am wondering if this company bids on their own auctions to drive the price up.

I don't get that either. Maybe someone is bidding it up high for...what reason I don't know. 

The 02 is a faded yellow/red and the black is not rare, not common. I have no idea what's going on in those two auctions.

It all looks a bit dodgy - around 40 bids for each of the items which yes its a USA Lava Lite so its a good lamp but not for that amount of money.

Maybe the seller thinks that because its a vintage item then it will sell so trys there luck with bidding on there own items. - It is odd and if the buyer wasn't connected with the seller then they got ripped off.

[Erin]

I think it was a scam of some sort. Who bids that many times on an item like that?

[Erin]

Also, I like the word "dodgy".

I can't believe they both sold for about $140 each. Definite scam!

Look at the one person's history:

Thats some darn good money for some lamps. Wish I had mine from the 70's

[Erin]

Those lamps aren't from the 70s. They are from the 90s.
