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
