Wow..this guy is about as insecure and rude a business owner I have ever seen.......and now that I read the reviews I see I am not alone. Having been in the shop before, I made the mistake of very politely offering to sell him an incredible lamp. ( I like to offer things locally before I sell them on Ebay)......and he loved it..........almost wet himself ......until he figured out that I knew what I had....I offered to sell it to him for half of what he would retail it for (100 percent markup) and he freaked out and turned rude.......became flustered and walked away......I know collector envy when I see it ......pretty juvenile. ......more a little clubhouse than a business..............avoid it
