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.

Oh, Dear..........yep, I think they're serious, Rob.  OUCH

LOL! This WAS $300, but they came down on the price. It is not rare, and not unique, but certainly over-priced!

The purple splotch if someone buys it not only will they have deep pockets but they wouldn't have common sense either and poor metallica man he wants this exact icon but not for that price

This lamp was posted the very day after I had been searching for information here about one I saw on ebay. Sometimes I think that if you show interest in a lamp there is always someone willing to take advantage and make a quick buck. Always pays to do your research.

Again, seriously?

Rob this auction showed up the day before with a start bid of $495 and it had one bid. Suddenly the price changed drastically to this new and crazy start bid and BIN it will not sell.

Going to have the respectfully disagree with you on this one.  Please keep in mind that this thread is about lamps that are over priced (i.e. the seller is smoking crack by asking for what they are asking).  The bidding on this one started at $50, thus the initial starting asking price was set there.  It has risen to $255 due to high demand for a very rare, very desirable lamp.  This lamp will continue to rise in price and for good reason.  This is a "bucket list" lamp for many collectors.

While this may be "over valued", that is really a subjective measurement.

I am so, so tempted on this one as I could likely do local pickup and save $280.

To be fair, this is a "bundle" deal with some other amazing wonders tossed in...

1. Glitter Lamp
2. Blue Rope Light
3. Hello Kitty Tote Bag
4. Large, 40" x 30" acrylic on 1" framed canvas painting
5. Ceramic Statue of "Rebecca", and....
6. Wall Sticker of Heath Ledger as The Joker from Batman.
