The story above is actually a bit more complicated. Tom Mordini was involved in the purchase with Isaak Somershein of the candle lamp on eBay for $6,500. Tom and Isaak had bid as partners on the lamp but since the sale was listed as Isaak's, that is who Frank credited. After the "Marriage" in 2001 Tom carried the lamp to various conventions for about 8 months and finally sold it for $13,000. In 2012 the candle lamp sold again for $8,000.
