Sweet, Sweet Chair for $10

So, while in Heber, we dropped by the local thrift store. It's not just any thrift store - it's spillover from a high-end boutique thrift store based in Park City. Let's just say people in Park City have too much money and time. You know, the kind of people who buy stuff, wear it or use it for three months, notice that it's now "out of fashion" and gift it so they can get the latest/greatest.

Anyway, we went into this place and began digging when I noticed this chair in a corner:
While not top-of-the-line, it's still a Herman Miller Aeron. I thought I'd check with the lady who runs the place and asked, "Is the office chair upstairs for sale?" "Sure, I'd get rid of it." "How much?" "Hmm... $10 and I'd say good riddance." "Sold."

And that, my friends is how I acquired a $1337.00 (retail) office chair for, yep, that's right, $10. Ever save 99.3% on an item before? I have. Also, I don't think it's coincidence that the retail price is $1337. In geek speak, that spells "Leet", meaning, awesome.
