Not offering yet or would be in classified section.
Yesterday, I spent the afternoon, and a lot of gas in the iron mule, chasing around the county trying to buy parts to make up a lamp. Only place was one of the BORGs and for the prices, I could have made down payment on a whole lamp store.
So, using good ole Google, I finally found what looked like a good source of parts.
After a while on the phone with a nice lady, we put together two sets of parts for the lamps I am making.
This was such a hassle, it got me to thinking some folks might like the idea of just buying a 'set' or 'kit' of parts for lamp making. The place I ordered from does give quantity discounts.
Understand, I might try to make a small profit on this venture. But, the offering price is about retail, less shipping and lower than the BORG.
Here 'tis: complete set: harp, finial, single power socket, flange, all thread rod, nuts and washers, 8' cord set with plug, all in brass color, $30.00.
No special orders, all would be the same. Initially I would have only eight of these sets to sell, I have to order in tens and would keep two for my own use.
What say the jury? Good idea? Or Fusco Free Enterprise Flop #643?
