4 lamp F20 fixture on E-Bay « on: October 07, 2010, 02:59:08 PM » Author: DieselNut
It says they have three of these available!! I would love to have one, but I already have two projects going.  May be interested in one, if fellow collectors get first shot at the others. http://cgi.ebay.com/fluorescent-light-vintage-retro-chrome-50s-cafe-diner-/200527934733?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb065750d

I saw them too and am watching them.  I'd love to get one but they are already super expensive after shipping to Alaska is figured in.  They look like they have 50s vintage tubes too.

I bid on the lamps when they were first put up (before I realized yall were watching them too) If I get them, I will share with you xmaslightguy. I am also watching the vintage fixtures, but the shipping is expensive.

@DieselNut since u are bidding on the lamps, I won't run try bidding against you. If i was really interested in the fixture/it had a lower cost, I could take a 'day trip' & pick it up (but that'd cost more in gas than the shipping anyway LOL)

I wouldn't mind paying that much for one of the fixtures.  The shipping kills me though, as it's more than the fixtures

@icefoglights, did you win one?  I got one!  Shipping is "quoted" at $27 to me.  I asked the seller if they would sell a second one.  Not sure how many sold, but I was the only bidder on the one I won for $50.

I won the third one.  One didn't sell and has been relisted.  I'm actually thinking of trying for it too.  Have a room they would look awesome in. Shipping to me is over 70 bucks :-o

AWESOME!!!  Glad you scored one!  Shipping to me is $27.  A nice one to install in my second bathroom.  A pair of them would be nice!  Good luck on it.  Maybe you could contact the seller and combine the shipping on a pair of them.

That would save money on shipping.  However there is that part of me that wants it ASAP and doesn't want to wait for the other auction to end. These would look cool in a bathroom.  You'll have to post pics when its up

@icefoglights, I e-mailed the seller (after winning the auction on the first one) and they replied.  They said I could get the second one for $50 plus shipping.  It is yours if you want it.  I really only need one for the bathroom.  Here was the seller's reply: "I have one more of them left if you want it I will hold it back for you same price 50.00 + shipping." @xmaslightguy, I got outbid several times on the F8T5/G lamps, so I hope someone here gets them!  I would like a pair if it is someone here.
