Ugh...have you ever had that item that slipped through you fingers and it still haunts you? It doesn't seem to matter if you missed out last week or last year...you still get worked up thinking about it. Man...this is going to be one of those. I have been searching for a pair of matching mid century lamps for our bedroom. Ones that have a great look but also don't take up a lot of valuable real estate on the nightstands...and I found them! Then lost them....Sadness.
I was feeling good about the big E auction and then in the last ten minutes the prices skyrocketed to a price tag out of my reach. They ended at $816.00....Ouch. I tried to seriously rationalize that price for like two second...then realized that all of the furniture in our bedroom (
Broyhill Brasilia) plus my pair of
Pearsall hangings didn't cost much more than that combined. :::Sigh:::

Whoa $800??? That's pretty insane! I know it's disappointing but I'm sure you'll find them for much less in an unexpected thrift/garage sale and you'll appreciate them much more since they were a bargain.
ReplyDeleteI know right! Crazy...I will just keep checking my local estate sales. Persistence pays off.
DeleteI have to admit, that is some sexy lamp on lamp action; they're turning me on like a 100 watt bulb!
ReplyDeleteHa! they are sexy with a switch.
DeleteThose are gorgeous lamps, but $816? Whew...I wouldn't have paid that much either.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the overseas bidders that push those WAY out of my reach. I don't know if I would have even paid half that. Man
DeleteOuch. You'll certainly find something else soon.
ReplyDeleteOuch indeed. I know I will and so the search continues....
Delete$816?! These Ebay bidders/sellers are out of their minds! I occasionally sift through the auctions and just can't believe the selling prices for most of the stuff on there. Craigslist is your friend.
ReplyDeleteI know! I sometimes look at completeds for "mid century" and sort to the highest price to see what sold for the most. Insane to the MAX. Unfortunately craigslist gems here are few and far between....but I will keep looking!
