This is the saddest thing that I have seen in a long while. This has been listed on Ebay since 2012. Asking price is "buy it now" for $1.00.

It would be even sadder if it was listed that long IF it had the missing Lantern Room attached.

I don' see this as sad. I see it as ridiculous. The Harbour Light is damaged And in my opinion worthless.
Someone should buy it for a buck and put it out of its misery and throw it away.

One would have to question the intelligence of a seller who would pay to list an item that has a negative value. For that shipping cost it should come well packaged! Little late for that, of course.

The light has now been re-listed, still for $1, but shipping is now $15.49 but is expedited.

Lister just hasn't learned. Someone might purchase a piece that needs a little fix, but don't know of anyone who can create a lantern room.

It doesn't even make sense to sell a figurine for a dollar plus pay for the packaging. It just isn’t worth the time or the money for a dollar. The only thing I can think of is that the seller is such a Harbour Light lover that he/she can’t through it away.
