    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
  • that is the correct picture above; looks great doesnt it? thats not what i got. the point im trying to make is if they had shown a photo of it rust n all i would have been happy. its the fact that they mis-represented what the prize would look like by putting a pic of a perfect one.
    i did send an email i just said i was dissapointed. they suggested i send it back.

    Are they going to replace it with this item then? It's been mis-sold as it isn't like the picture.

    That looks almost new. What are they suggesting if you return it? Anything else? As you then don't have a prize xx

    that one in the photo is odd, now that I look at it.

    The arm and base look like they've been cleaned up a bit but are still showing some nice aging, but the shade looks newly painted and enameled.

    jeddentad i think you must have seen the first pic of the spotlight; that wasn't it. its the example above now.
    no, they have not offered an alternative; just said if im not happy to send it back.
    i would love to show you all a pic but i dont know how to do it; any tips?
