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'm no expert, but I thought those big, floor-standing behemoths were, "the holy grail of the fiber optic world."

If I could get that kind of money for lava lamps, I'd sell my whole collecton

Think he will get what he is asking for?

Good, clear flow to you all,

Jeff

[Critter]

Nope! They didn't get that new, they did want that price new but quickly dropped it. Plus it is most likely a Colossus not a Humungo.

And it's FUGLY

hmmmm, you can say that, but didn't you just get one? (no offence, just a little bit of envy....)

me, I'd have it like a shot, but shipping one to the UK....

[Claude J]

I did,and it was Fugley too

The price reflected the condition

It went right to the body shop for dent removal and paint

Looks like a wood-grain colossus base that has been painted, also looks like the globe may have been a black/clear that has lost some of its dye to the water, plus it looks cloudy.  If money was no object I would still pass on this one

[Michael]

I am not too sure, it is hard to tell from that photo, but it might even be the granite finish base with a clear/black that lost some of the dye as Keith suggested. 

[Critter]

I think it is likely a black granite colossus base with faded clear black colossus globe....$1000-$1200 max on its best day

[Critter]

Ok....it is definitely a "Black Granite" Colossus style base. The globe is a 16H Black / Clear HUMUNGO. Now it is up a notch in value IMO......but $5500????? I think it is a nice lamp.
