Curious if the ebay seller is holding enough insurance to cover damages that the buyer may suffer.

If you leave a record out in the sun it gets soft and flexible. I would expect that this setup would result in the heat of the bulb affecting the record so that it droops downwards, envelops the bulb and burns down the house? -> is this a possible scenario?

A record fire.....

Especially if the record was hot jazz... (Sorry just had to..)

Interesting point... Could indeed get pretty hot

Seems like everyone from the American Pickers to Flea Market Flip takes any and all useless and ugly stuff and turns it into a lamp for a lot of money. I suspect that was the inspiration here.

I don't live in New York City, but those people seem to have a lot of money to spend on ugly crap.
