OMG! Real Purple Fiberglass Eames Armshells on Ebay!  

Forty-five "watchers",
according to the site below (Collector's Weekly).
I thought only sellers are privy to the number of watchers-- where does Collector's Weekly get the info?

I wonder what Wright would...
I wonder what Wright would project them at pricewise. Of course they do have some pretty sizable spots of discoloration. But damn, I don't know. Think I might throw some jack at 'em. Then I could buy every other undesirably colored iconic piece on the cheap and tell everyone I've decided I'm not afraid of color...

Very interesting website
I thought only the seller could see how many people are watching an item!
By the way, on the bottom of group of photos are the exact same 4 DCM chairs I own upholstered in the exact same blue Girard fabric....and I LOVE mine.

.
more a grayed lavender to my eye...

I'll play....
$1872 for the pair.

Uh?
Do you know what the "original" color looked like?
Judging from the backside, not much fading occurred.

NO
I dont know the original color nor do you.Ive seen orange shells faded to a weird off shade...I like the color of the shells...

I am basing my estimate
.... on 2 hot pink armshells listed separately on eBay a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly they finished at $2500 each, or $5000 for the pair.
This color purple is way more rare. WAY more rare.
But in hindsight, perhaps I am indeed still being too optimistic. We'll see in a few days.

I dislike them very very much...
I dislike them very very much. They don't even match themselves.

Well, Whitespike, if you want to pay a fortune for 'em and
send them to me, I'd be honored to receive them!!
I wouldn't be too concerned about the faded color...heck I'm a bit faded myself.

Call me Plum Crazy, but...
I like Purple!!In fact I have (yes,)a "Barney's Purple" original Eames Rocker which never fails to draw favorable comments from my guests.Not even one opined that it was ugly.That's what makes these colors rare,folks.Conservative buyers who eschew a certain color make it an incredible collectible.Why do you think the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda/Dodge Challenger color,"Plum Crazy" always commands a huge premium? Second is "Panther Pink"!

I think I don't like the color but
maybe in a mostly-white Palm Springs type interior? conversation pit, big Rya, white leather Corbu chaise, some molded plastic chairs? put 'em on rocker bases? could be kinda fun....

Let's not forget about this thread...
Epic chairs.

I'll play - $2300

I'll pay $16 and I'll send...
I'll pay $16 and I'll send 'em to LRF to make them another color ....
