...Coat For Sale.
Surely one you guys has recently found yourself in the doghouse after dragging home some rusting hulk with dreams of entering it in the $2010 Challenge, the BABE Rally or the 24 Hours of LeMons. Or perhaps, you finally realize that the answer truly is Miata, and are frantically searching Craigslist as we speak. You know that's not going to go over well when the little woman comes home from work and sees your new toy leaving oil stains on the driveway.
What could be better for restoring domestic tranquility than slipping a low mileage, full length Natural Blond Beaver Coat under the Christmas tree this year?
My wife has owned this for a while, but has only worn it a few times. I have a receipt proving that her ex-husband paid over $3400 for it, following some misguided indiscretions that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. I also have an appraisal, indicating a value of $4500, for insurance purposes.
It's stupid to pay that much money for a freakin' coat.
So don't.
Make me an offer. I promise not to be insulted. Hell, I didn't pay for it. I'm not listing it on e-Bay or Craigslist because I'm not interested in wasting my time with e-mail from liberal hippies over a bunch of animals who are already dead. Nobody recognizes Bang-for-the-Buck potential quite like GRM'ers.
Your Christmas shopping begins and ends right here. I'm all ears.



Just be careful of what you wish for.
