Seeking estimate on item

[BCTexas]

I have started building these desk lamps out of model a parts. What would be a fair price for both seller and buyer, to ask for these?

Tough question. I like it from what I see however I do not have a special place to display it at the moment. On the other hand, a Lady that falls in love with it and is decorating a room in a specific theme that can use this will likely pay thru the roof for it. It is all in how you market it. Can you sell one for $100.00 and feel good about making it??

Im with Brent on price. its an either "must have" or no interest type of item.

Can you use an old headlight bucket and lens?

I hope you're using the current crop of 30-0-30 ammeters and leaving the originals for those who need them.

My Son made a couple of lamps from old transmission gears and headlight reflectors. He was asking $100 for them and nobody was willing to pay that. I think he finally sold his last one for about $20-$25. I was a hard slow slog and he said he would not do it again.

I was thinking the same. This type of thing will only interest a select few, usually the one who made the item.

Most on Forsd Barn have a plethora of old parts we could make our own lamps from when we get bored.

I've seen something like that before, don't recall what the asking price was.
