Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1320020 |
We own several large 500plus storage locker facilities and on occasion people don't pay the rent. Onthe popular reality TV show they claim to auction off units without looking atthe contents first. If you believe that, we have a nice timeshare condo to sellyou on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border with a beautiful view every night of agorgeous fireworks display. It is just down the road from the Catholic andMethodist churches and across from the Jewish Synagogue. Everybody wa...lks the streets on warm summerevenings. On TV have you ever wonderedwhy there is a large group of people standing around but nobody bids except thesame half dozen or so that you saw in the last episode? Unlike theTV show, we examine all contents and if we think the items will do better oneBay or at a local estate auction that is our procedure and that of absolutelyeverybody I know in the same business. If the contents are junk or low end, then we auction units sometimes combined with others as a way of simplyavoiding taking things to the dump and having to pay to do so. If we use the term "antique" it isonly for saying it is old and for use in the category eBay sometimes onlyoffers for something like this. But the true definition of antique is 100 yearsold and this obviously is not. We reallydon't know the exact age or pretend we do. In our opinion, we thought this or these unique items deserved to belisted on eBay and hopefully somebody will enjoy owning. If not, we will call the Salvation Army as weneed to keep the storage units empty & ready to rent as that is ourbusiness. All items going out of theContinental US must be insured and sent Priority International. We can't determine the exact cost until theauction is over. Insurance desiredwithin the US must be requested by the buyer. PayPal is accepted as eBay demands it but any other form of traditionalpayment is cheerfully accepted, even United States currency which is federallyillegal not to accept although eBay doesn't seem to be aware of that. We found this glass shade in a box of miscellaneous lamp parts in an abandoned unpaid rental storage locker. We think this is called Art Deco style and the type used on Frankart, Bradley and Hubbard, Handel, Moe, Roycroft, Stiffel, and other lamps of that period. Other than that, we know nothing about this field of collecting so we will just let the photos describe. Condition is near mint with no chips or cracks and looks to have been used very little if ever.
If you are outside the U.S.A and eBay quotes you a ridiculous cost for shipping as they often do, pay absolutely no attention to it. We can send insured for pennies compared to what eBay will try to gouge you for. We quote the shipping, not eBay who makes a percentage of the total so the higher they can make the cost, the more they make for themselves. We take extreme issue to that and their ethics.
