This is a listing of the Harbour Lights pieces available through a brokerage service called "Collectibles Exchange." (No longer in business.)

If you wanted to sell something, you called them with the piece and the price you wanted for it and they listed it. If you wanted to buy something, you ordered it from Collectibles Exchange, they had the seller ship it to them for inspection and then they shipped it to the buyer.

If the deal went through, the funds went through Collectibles Exchange. I believe they got 20% of the selling price.

The number after the slash indicates how many were available at that price. The @ symbol indicates it was missing the box.

Read 'em and weep.

I remember that particular collector’s exchange price list like it was yesterday.

The Cape Hatteras for $500 went right away. I called and it was gone. Back then $500 was a steal. $700 to 750 was the going price.
The ADMIRALTY HEAD, WA #101 for $157 was the one I bought. It was the rare “AdmiralPy head version

$138 was a good price for a Thomas point. $150 was the going price. I bought mine the following year from the Collectors exchange for $137

43 three of the LE’s listed you could still find in 1998. You could call Harbour Lights for a dealer that had these or you could request them at “retired at retail”.

I bought several of my secondary market pieces through the Collectible Exchange in 1996. They were a class company to deal with. If memory recalls correctly, I bought Cape Hatteras($560.00), Burrows Island($130.00), Barnegat($118.00), and Sandy Hook($168.00). It's sure sickening to see today's prices on Ebay.

I think the person who ran the collectible Exchange had a great little business going until ebay really got going and connected buyers and sellers directly, I used to go right by the town where the address was, I called and asked if they had a showroom or store to stop and visit, They didn't, They were just a middle man running it out of a house I think.

I bought a number of pieces from them too, including a green water Barnegat for $139.00 (I wasn't even aware until I got it that there was a green water variation)

Ebay has taken away all fun of collecting. I remember when my kids were young we were collecting coins (linclon head penneys), where ever we were in the country they would pick up a phone book and look for a coin shop to look for that special coin (1909SVBD). Today no matter what you collect you can find it on ebay sooner or later.Now $100.00 less then we paid ten years ago. Its the same thing with all collectables, that hard to find piece, that piece that if you were to find it you would buy reguardless of cost.Thats why in my opinion there is no thing anymore as collecting, just check ebay and some one has it for sale.
