ok here is the thing
searching for a lite fix
pretty open about it but that is not the issue
why in the f? do they cost so much????
that is to say...it is just sockets and generally sheet metal and wires and glass, a casting or two
well
today i go to this HIGH end place looking for something that will be just it
WOW
they have 5 8 10 that would be perfect
$1697, 2300
$1327
seem to be fascinated with the "7" number in their pricing
but anyway
whilst wandering around
there is this kinda nautical ceiling chandelier with maybe a 16 inch copper shade on it with 75 watt cap inside an inverted middle tube/globe with few fin things above, hard to explain but cute, semi-industrial-nautical looking $627!!!!!
but hey!!!!!!!
i have one that is almost identical to it except for the ceiling to lamp connection sitting in my foyier? hall? that i bought from a home store 4 years ago for $30? maybe less on closeout?
what is the deal??
gotta know
is it the "born every minute theory" or am i behind in my pricing stuff
and
would like to find another of the above fixtures
copper as described above, know it was a mass produce import
thanks
