Well, Here is one of the original Crib's with the broken trees, and Reunion misspell up for grabs. Already at $91 from beginning at $10. Interesting huh!?

Broken Tree Crib

At least they have made full disclosure on the condition. Making a hefty return on a piece that they received a free replacement for.

Isn't there a list that shows who got which numbers? And shouldn't someone send this person a sham on you note. After all Harbour Lights did ask everyone to destroy the broken pieces! I know that many of us didn't do that... but to sell it... that just isn't right!

Steph,

I gotta agree wholeheatedly with you on this one. Whoever is attempting to sell the piece is no higher on the ladder of evolution than a disgusting slug and should probably be stepped on or used for fish bait.

bobo

Not to make anyone feel bad.

Someone asked the seller the following and here is the reply

BTW this seller is the one that listed the HL102. He is also selling a Bailey's Harbor and the Reunion Waugoshance.

Sad to say this will probably be the fate for all of my beloved HL's someday. My family does not enjoy them as much as I do.

You must realize that no one can tell another person what to do with their HL collection. As far as the Cheboygan Crib piece goes, if Harbour Lights wanted them destroyed they should have requested a one-for-one trade. You give them the broken piece, they give you the replacement.

One would think that other CC owners may offer their broken piece of eBay after seeing the success of this auction.

Cyndi, ...I have the same situation. I'm the only one in my immediate family who enjoys collecting HL's. I suppose there are a lot worse things that could be collected instead of HL's. I do enjoy buying and selling these little treasures. It keeps me out of the bar rooms, so to speak. LOL!

Bob

Cyndi and Bob,

I've got the same problem. My brother and his family think that I'm totally insane. No one seems to give a dang one way or another. I guess we tend to live in different dimensions.

bobo

I am in the same boat as all ya'll; no one in my family is interested in my collection either.

Melody, Bob and Cyndi,

Why do I get the feeling that our boat will soon be over-crowded? It's a dang shame, but what can we do?

Get a bigger boat?

Maybe someone in our families will come around. Or Not!

bobo

Well, you can all write me into your wills! I'll more than happily take care of your HL collections. And you wouldn't have to worry abut another changeover soon after...

Well, my daughter shares my love for dolphins, maybe I can inspire her to love lighthouses too. They maybe moving from Missouri down where by us. So I can start working on her.

But I'll keep you in mind Greg, just in case.

Greg,

Do you know what FAT CHANCE means?

bobo

Yes, many of us are in the same boat! I just cringe thinking about what my relatives will do with our HL collection once we are gone. I guess they could just bury us in one of our curios, Harbour Lights and all!
Judy

Anyone got any pics of Dolphins swimming by lighthouses for Cyndi to pry her daughter with? YES...she can be trained!!!

From the price of these LEs went for, we can surmise that the Legacy that we leave our heirs will make them a little richer (if they're smart enough to ebay the rarer ones) and newer collectors happy to have the chance to get some hard to get low number editions. Now about those other 100 LEs...

It may be time to code the keeper box!lol
