As I have said before
Once the smoke clears
More and more collectors will accept it.
However, the biggest thing that will hurt the Barking Rocks is the price tag.
I think the average collectors looks at a Harbour light in the different categories listed below. Or at least I do.

Less than $39- no thought given, will buy at impulse.
$40 to $59 - not much thought given. Will buy with not much hesitation.
$60 to $85 Some thought is given to this price range- I like it and I can afford it but I may have to give something up this week to budget.
$86 to $124 – a lot of thought is given about a HL in this price range. Will buy if really needed to complete collection or is of a lighthouse that was visited. Most likely will go on credit card.
$125 to $150- I think I need a hole in my head before I need to pay this for another Harbour Light.
