I've spent several hundred dollars, but it usually gets paid with scrap metal. When I do pay with cash, I usually sell the fixtures anyway, so I guess in the end, I have not really paid anything, and have a lot of junk to show for it. Either way, I have not come out in the red, though I am certainly not a millionaire from selling these things.

Yeah, I'm glad I could help you guys, just wish I could continue. I'll keep trying. And heck, I'm even keeping some for myself. Does that make me a collector?

Yes, I would call it pretty unique. I got into this through collecting insulators, which in itself is somewhat odd, but there are well over 1000 subscribed collectors on that forum, so the number is quite large compared to this.

Haven't spent much, mostly just for accessories, I have gotten most from asking nicely. ;)

I actually don't know. I found many of my lamps for free in dumps, so can't count how much exactly...
