Just one. But he wanted to save a few bucks on the replacement and picked one up on E-Bay. It doesn't work. After complaining online to a group of professional electricians, it turns out his light bulb wasn't the right voltage even though the box it was in clearly stated that it was. He then complains online about getting ripped off on E-Bay, asks for advice on feedback, and complains about this certain brand of light bulbs. Turns out the seller makes his own light bulb boxes and can stick whatever piece of junk inside it, regardless of whether or not it matches the description. Outraged, he complains even more about the seller online. The seller finds out, sues, and everybody lives happily ever after.
Has it been cleaned? Or altered? Is it genuine or fake? Does it have a repunched manufacturer's mark? Over Manufacturer's mark? Could you post a scan of the lightbulb?
all depends on the ones changing it. If the bulb is slabbed are you complaining about it being slabbed? However, you wouldnt buy it unless it was slabbed. Or are they purists, and wouldnt want any kind of protection over the filament ?
None. The coin collector will be unable to bring himself to remove the lightbulb from the package or touch it with his hands and will therefore keep buying new lightbulbs at the store and storing them in the safe. Decades from now, he'll offer the unopened boxes for sale as unsearched lightbulbs that might contain the rare error or high grade lightbulb.
it only takes one, but he found the lightbuld in a bargain box at the coin shop and convinced himself that it was worth 12X he paid for it
