Hi all,

The admin team have received an enquiry from a member of the public regarding selling some lamps and a fixture he has come into possession of, so I'm posting this here on his behalf.

If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll pass it on.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to get advice on how to sell, price, and ship a box of a vintage box of 13 qty
GE F90T17-W 90w bulbs. They were given to me by my father inlaw. Would like to use the proceeds to buy some tech toys for his grandkids
I think he picked them from a facility shut-down in the '70s.
He has a fixture too that he tested them all on to affirm they are working. He said I could sell the fixture too.

Thanks,
Ken

Do you know where he is located and maybe what kind of pricing he is looking for? I've been looking to add some T17 lamps to my collection.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, he is in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Don't know about pricing, he was asking for suggestions on that if he decides to sell them on eBay.

One of my lighting friends would like this, but i don't think he'd be able to obtain it

Buying tech toys for the grandkids (plural) sounds very expensive! Perhaps any of us would struggle to afford the kind of price he has in mind. Myself and at least one other would be happy to make a contribution in case that would help someone in USA reach a deal and sell on a couple, but to buy the whole set would be too much.

I'm already pretty rich when it comes to F90T17 lamps and fixtures (two cases of lamps) but if I have to for the greater good of lighting collectors

, I can go recover them at some point if theyre not asking for a billion dollars. The most I'd personally pay is like 100-150 for that whole lot (fixture and all)

It'd be nice if some other member gets to experience T17 lamps though. Patrick is closer
