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.

I guess I made a good investment since I just paid $37.00 (with shipping) for mine 2 weeks ago. Ha!

Dang....only three of those Smurf lamps left!!!

Another dreamer...

they not bother to check other listings before posting this idiotic price?

1400 € oversized Mathmos rocket

I'm not knowledgeable enough about lava lamps to be sure this item qualifies but at least its price makes it stand out :D

Sale is current (if there are any takers...) :)
Have a nice day.

That price is not out of order for a perfect model

Interesting. I might get one after I win the lottery :D

Mee too

Maybe next year?

they are no longer produced

I feel they are as coveted by collectors as a Lava Lite colossus (which is harder to find)

It would look cool in a sci-fi / comic book store :D
If it's not too big and heavy once packed, transporters may be able to ship it to most places. The seller should put it on the English eBay, maybe :)

it is made by Mathmos

the inventors of the lava lamp

Usually you find them on Ebay UK

The lamp is a Mathmos lunar made in the 90's and discontinued now they are very sought after amoung collectors and non collectors etc they go from £500 to over a grand depending on condition and globe rarity etc they aren't as highly sought after then a colossus but defo up there in that range.
