This lamp is very similar to the one sold at WalMart that costs $9. (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Desk-Lamp-Black-Finish/14123341#ProductDetail) I will throw in a cool natural light fluorescent bulb that costs $8.89. (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/306962/GE-Spiral-Compact-Fluorescent-Bulb-15/) This item costs a total of $17.89. Asking for $7 firm.
