I'd be more than willing to actually purchase from you. I've done numerous trades and purchases with Patrick, Tim (beatoven), and other members. 

What is the ordering code for them? I wasn’t even aware they made ceramic metal halide specific ones.

  It's not CMH specific , Sorry !    I've never owned a 50w that's not CMH . I know they make them , I've just never owned one .  I paid $1 per watt for this one . I've bought them as cheap as $20 w/free shipping !! NOW , to figure out where I'll use them all !! 

I used to sell here, but got tired of the runaround.
Example: a member says to me that they want to buy some lamps, and ask me to provide a shipping quote. So I go through the effort to pack them up to get an accurate weight, and then they back out...it becomes a waste of time...so I quit.
My items usually sell on eBay, even with the hassle...I just have to price them high so I don't lose money...

Agreed. It's insane. I listed some lamps, sold at asking price, and made about 50% of what was actually listed in the end. $10 for all that hassle? No thanks.

Eric, you sound like you have one.

Yep, I have two...I'll never need them. Shoot me a PM if you want them.

Eric, what's your eBay username, if you don't mind me asking? I'd love to buy some of your "excess" lamps... 

I have nothing posted on there currently. Unfortunately, one has to charge a high price to make money...

Have you checked out my email involving my alternative ballasting setup?

Additionally, I also found a ballasting setup that is only $44 with offers excluded.

Well, it got declined. If this seller ever wants to sell this ballast, they have to lower the price to something more reasonable.

I also sent an email for an alternative ballasting setup just in case your offer for the 35W ballast is rejected.

I made an offer for a reasonable price. Let’s see if they accept or not
