The price and object seem like a parody, but I am afraid they are serious. This is simultaneously hilarious, but also makes me quite mad, the e-bay abuse of the terms Witco/Tiki/Eames should be stopped somehow. It inadvertently makes me react sour to the term EAMES...and I really love their work! [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2006-04-12 09:58 ] |

Thanks, Formikahini, for clearing that up, that's a little better....only a little though. Well, let me tell ya, it ain't, and it's not worth 150.- clams, either. |

If so, I deserve it, for hyping up Witco so people post these insane auctions like the one above. I would love to set them right, telling them that Witco is really just cheap trash...which it is, but it is GENIUS trash. It's design porn. And now I hardly can afford it myself. Gimme the cap. |

Looks like it was stolen from Medieval Times in Buena Park. |

I still wanna know how you can ever find actual Eames items on Ebay now. If you try to search for it, you get many thousands of items that are marked Eames. If I ever own an Eames chair I want to sell, it will not go on Ebay! I collect Knoxville, TN stuff and that's a pain now thanks to Johnny Knoxville. "Knoxville" has become a code word for some sort of slacker clothing style and trucker hats. |

it would also probably be a bad idea to try to sell a shag rug on ebay... |

No. no. no. The seller must wear the dunce cap and write on the blackboard, I will not misuse the term Witco 100 times.:) And please don't tell Marian Witco is cheap trash - because it definitely ain't cheap anymore. |
