Man tries to sell a GIANT desk lamp for $800

A man has been trolled after trying to sell a giant desk lamp online for $800, with some comparing the extravagant accessory to the Pixar mascot.

The would-be seller described the lamp as a Jac Jacobsen designer lamp, stands at 2.2metres tall at its shortest setting and set him back $4500.

‘The pictures don’t do it justice. Ideally needs somewhere spacious with ceilings at least 2.5m tall,’ he said.

‘Selling as we sadly don’t have room for it anymore.’

The man said pick-up would be from the affluent northern beaches suburb Mosman and posted two pictures of the giant black lamp.

The post appeared to generate a lot of interest online, but from trolls rather than genuine buyers.

‘Did you climb Jack’s beanstalk and bring that back,’ one woman asked.

While another said the lamp looks like it is from a Pixar horror film.

The seller appeared to be on board with the jokes and replied: ‘It has tried to eat the dog already.’

One man asked if the seller had ‘the matching table and chair’, to which he also replied: ‘Yes but they are 30ft tall,’.

‘Pixar has been looking for this bloke for months,’ another joked. 

One man said the lamp ‘makes everything look out of proportion’.

‘Who would make this and why?’ he demanded.

Others labelled the piece ‘ghastly’ and ‘scary’ with one man commenting: ‘Thanks, but I hate it.’ 

The lamp was made for Replica in 2007 to celebrate the humble desk lamp’s 70th birthday. 

The lampshade is 45centimetres wide, the lamp which is now discontinued comes in black and yellow and has been reduced to $995 in store.
