Title: Turtle lamp getting a response I didn't expect.
Post by: bob535 on October 17, 2011, 02:31:17 PM

Hey guys, I didn't bother posting this here before because I didn't think it was that old, and really didn't think it was worth the effort to put here.
I want to post some pics of it here now, because i am wondering why it might be getting a bigger response than I expected. I didn't expect to get much more than 5 dollars for it. about 40% of the people who look at it watch it, and it already has 3 bids. The reason i am curious is because I usually don't get any major responses til it is closer to the auction end.......maybe there are just a lot of turtle collectors out there  ;D

These are the pics i used:

I see a lot of them posted at about 45 dollars. Must be plenty of turtle lovers out there!  :)

true true...can't and wont argue with success  ;D was just trying to understand it i guess....I thought maybe i missed something....lol. I have no idea what it was supposed to look like...lol.....to me it was a metal turtle body, with a glass shell, and a light in it  ;D which is why I just threw it out there cheap.

I'll let you know how it goes...
