By Harbour Lights definition of retired, the Wisconsin Point lighthouse is a retired Harbour Lights Lighthouse. For example the HL191 Thomas Point was retired before the first one was delivered to a store, because they all were sold by HL to stores. The forums are a HL store for the Wisconsin Point Lighthouse and no longer available from HL when they were all delivered to Dave.
There should have always been the category of retired but still available and then maybe if there was a way to know, retired and gone from stores.
I stand corrected, apparently.
I still think that this distinction would be lost on many bidders, though.
I do still believe, though, that it is incumbent on all bidders to ascertain the true value of what they are bidding on and these people could have easily found out that there weres till pieces available at retail price for them to buy instead of paying a premium for the item.
