Lucite Lamp
« on: January 23, 2012, 03:54:58 pm »
I have a few questions about my lucite lamp. It measures 31" tall and the round part is 13.5" wide and is between 2" to 3" thick. It is marked Primo on the base but I haven't been able to find anything. I was wondering if anyone had a rough idea of how old this is? Also I was wondering what would be a reasonable asking price for a lamp like this?

Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Wendy!!!! Now the question is what to do with it? Should I put it on Craigslist for $1250 and see if anyone bites?

You could give it a shot but I don't think people on craigslist will have any idea what it is. The site I found is an upscale New York Boutique so prices are HIGH, You could call them & see if they want to purchase it but they will want to pay as low as they can so profit will be high but it is worth a shot also.   good luck

Thanks Mart I'll look into that site. Have you ever bought or sold thru them before?

No, But I sure like looking around there !!  I just found it by chance doing research on another lamp a while back !!   Check it out first and see about fees and such !!

It should hold a nice price tag   http://mecoxgardens.com/pageItemDetail.asp?RECORDID=12900

Without a "real" store you will most likely see towards the later/or less....unless that right person comes along!  Hopefully for you they will!

That lamp is off the charts in a New York market. Good Luck.
