Yeah, but there are 81 watchers....
(and only forty or so are DA rubberneckers)... the price could conceivably triple or quadruple during the last ten seconds... I'll guess $3,050.

Hey Boho,
Ok, they are rare as hell, but since they are so worn, I doubt they will reach over $2000. That's my guess... -Let's say $1975!

The side shell set is
Awesome... lots of rare colors. Wonder what the reserve is.
The La Fonda base has been rewelded (breakage is common with La Fonda bases), and the asking price is exorbitant, which is why they never sell.

I'll make my guess coming down to the wire...
$1600. I'm bidding $4682 just to be safe...

...and Paulanna's the winner.
Her guess was $2,300... final bid $2,370.

paulanna
that was actually quite an amazing estimate. Kudos.

Can't wait to see these pop back up...
on repro rocker or dowel bases for $12000 a piece...

Found green fiberglass Eames on rockers
Is the purple really that rare? I found an original light seafoam green fiberglass on rockers for $2200 at VandM. I love the contrast of materials. The wood, steel and fiberglass. From the pics on the site it looks like it's possible to remove the fiberglass piece. Could you swap the green for the purple?
