Smizzy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I cater an Auction every Thursday night and tonight a guy in the front row bought a Tiffany lamp for $4,200 and then asked to see it after he won it...What did he do? DROPPED THE ****ING THING RIGHT ON THE GROUND!! Everybody went silent when it shattered....everyone but me....I couldn't controll myself. I just started laughing out loud and everybody was like "Oh my god....that man is laughing " I had to go outside to get some controll. He was beside himself when he still had to pay for it at the end of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part was he was one of these dudes who just held his card up the minute the item went up. I mean usually they ask a price...nobody bids right away and the price drops and then people jump in and bid....this dude had his card up in the air the minute they announced the lot number. People who didn't even want the lamp were bidding his price up. He could have had that lamp for 3 grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetheelz Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm pretty sure he didn't love lamp when he left. I hope he swept it up and took what was left of it home, considering the insane amount he paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...the Lamp it self is pretty much worthless without the lamp shade. These people pay the most insane amounts of money for the smallest items. I seen a solid brass desk clock...shaped like a submarine go for $11,000 to someone on the phone who didn't even come to look at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The only Lamp I would pay more than regular price for (and I mean more than like $20-30 for) is the Leg Lamp from "A Christmas Story." Besides that, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You guys who call this guy an idiot are funny as hell. Yeah, he paid too much for a lamp. If Joe Namath crapped in a ziploc bag and autographed it, you'd pay more for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozer76 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You don't actually pay for the thing right away, and you don't give any credit card info when you sign in. Some places ask for your DL, but they don't go collecting, they just blacklist you. Dude should have jumped out of his chair and ran like hell.
