@podbros Yes it sure does, I believe I know this seller he was over the moon, now all his lamps go on the Evilbay, which means no more bargains. This one was bought by someone in Asia? Madness
More time on line by more people during the pandemic + all the great information and photo's on this site = High Demand for rare and not so rare beasts = Also means, Your collection is more valuable!
This is true but that means nothing to me as my collection isn't for sale, for example a person offered me $600 US dollars for one of my Tilley TL106 fully restored table lamps, now this is a common Lamp here easy to get, my answer was no, when I tell people this story that don't collect lamps they say your bonkers. Now I could just get another one and replace it, make say $700 AUS or so and wow what a profit right? No way would I sell it, yes I do need the money, but that's not why I collect lamps. HI MY NAME IS BRIAN AND I HAVE LAMPTITUS. Hahaha PS: I'm not yelling at you, as I know capitals means yelling
Good one! Well, We all know your upside down! And Hording lamps, (by the way I agree with you) creates additional scarcity = higher prices and NO MORE BARGAINS.... Big Smiles here!
To be be fair it did look like a much sought after model.. not sure if this was the right place or not.. probably not.. foot in mouth again
How many of these high priced lanterns/lamps actually sell? Asking a high price is one thing, getting that price is another!
The person selling did not ask a high price. Rather, the price paid was the result of what the market would bear at the time it was offered for sale. The scarcity or perceived scarcity and completion. To the person who bought it, it may not be what they consider a lot of money...
