Anthony stop being so durn cynical!
Tim, I`d be interested to know what`s going on at the auctions lately too. I havn`t really been looking at the international bulbs for a while now (as I
still don`t have any decent display space!), I hear that in general prices are a bit down on last year- is that right?
I
did sneak a peak a month or so back- full of the usual poor condition GE and Westinghouse Mazda cage lamps with $10 openers and no bids. One or two carbons, I think there was a good condition medium sized Edison-GE cage lamp (~150 watts?) for about 40 bucks.
And asides the more recent and modern lamps, and the usual spamming of fancy automotive bulbs listed under the names of just about every make of car under the sun, despite being the exact same bulb (now there
I go being cynical!), I don`t remember seeing anything too exciting.
Note that I didn`t search the "USA Only" listings, just those in, and avaliable to, the UK- as I can`t any more since Ebay messed up their search system. USA-only listings may be more interesting, I just don`t know.....
Oh- a few weeks ago I bought an unknown UK origin ~1919 32cp bayonet base carbon 2-loop for about ?25 (~$35) which I think was a bit too much, but it had been a while and I liked the look of it
But Ebay being Ebay, it can change drastically week to week so who knows what`s there now! I might be missing some fantastic bargains
