I remember seeing this ad a month or so ago. $1000 per fixture is outrageous, not to mention that you have to remove them or pay for removal yourself, and at the end of the day, there's no guarantee that they even WORK! The seller is clearly out of his/her mind. For what they're asking I'd expect NOS fixtures with NOS Mazda lamps!

Half price sale. :D
It is only $6000 now for 12 half pipes plus shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-Turn-of-century-INDUSTRIAL-FLUORESCENT-LIGHT-FIXTURES-Drop-downs-/231294304582?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35da370146

It looks like the seller is going to try to list these on ebay one at a time also.
I would like to have one of these, but not at $500 each plus shipping.
By the time you do a restoration you would have about $1000 tied up in a $100 light fixture.
Too much for me. ;D

Meh, this guy would be very lucky to get even $3000 for the lot. If he was trying to sell to me, he would get maybe $500 if he could prove they work.
