Quality Lighting and Accessories

We brought an antique lamp in for repair and were quoted $ 130 (new cord, new stem, new switch). We balked, because we were not sure it was worth it. Christy, our salesperson, told us that lamps like this can sell at auction for $ 1000-​$ 2000 and recommended that we use Hood, an auctioneer, down the street. We should’ve gone over to Hood right away but we didn’t. I figured we would make a little money even if she was off by a long shot.
When we returned a few days later and paid for the repair, we went over to Hood and were told it would probably bring $ 100!
Shame on us for not checking first of course, but, to be off by an order of magnitude like that, I can only conclude Christy has no idea what she’s talking about, or she’s full of it, or both.
When we got the lamp home we realized they had forgotten to put a switch on the new cord! They refused to pick it up and made us drive back there for a 3^rd time to get the switch put on. I don’t know the name of the gentleman we dealt with that second time, but he was very weird. I don’t recommend this place. Two stars only because the lamp does work after all.
