I love stuff Like this

I was passing by this office and saw this black leather office chair near their dumpster. I asked them if they were throwing it out and they said yes. I took the chair home and cleaned the leather and the chair is as good as new. There is one small scuff mark on the back, but all the controls work. I now have an executive office chair in my room that i use when i use my computer. SWEET! RAISE, LOWER, TILT!

Curbside shopping, gotta love it biggrin

I got a set of Bose speakers like that a few years back, after I cleaned them up and reattached a wire, they were as good as new.

It's so cool that you had the nerve to ask; and the humilty
to get it; and the intelligence to recognize that foolish pride can cost a lot $$$!. smile

I got over those hangups a long time ago. I could buy it cash, but why when i can find a nice one for free. It was a Honda dealership in Berkeley. I was working near there at the time. I just moved and this chair blows away my old one.

A lot of people have had syphillis before too, but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything wrong with it.

Hmm, I can only imagine that the chair is CURSED! and the people in the office who had owned it previously had finally managed to get rid of it once and for all, after losing several members of their family and friends through the curse. The curse from them has been lifted, but the Black Chair will now turn your life into a waking nightmare. Get rid of the chair before the curse takes hold.
