apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

ooh...me likey that blue welded sculputre!

I just clicke through to the ebay listing for the *fabulous* Brown-Jordan patio chair... You have to read the description. The seller is hilarious:

"Brown-Jordan Furniture is EXPENSIVE unless, of course, you buy it on Ebay. The reasons for the high prices are....ONE...It's so comfortable, by design, that you can sleep in it...TWO...it's great-looking profile would be at home in the interior of a Richard Meier Palace. By the pool or on the deck, it speaks volumes about taste and savoir faire and it's not just talk. Perfect form and function meet in this particular line of outdoor furniture. THREE...it's light. Easy to move around because it's made from top-grade aluminum and webbing strong enough for the kids to jump on. Or Tom Cruise, if he happens over. Hey! It could have happened. These come from the home of a mega-famous Academy Award-winning Hit-machine whose wife (I've heard) banishes the furnishings rather than have them waxed. Their ego-mania is your shot at bargain excellence. No, I won't tell you who it is...I have to live here. These will need to be waxed, though....a few years in the sun have made the paint a touch powdery....you know how it gets. THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE ARMCHAIR ALONE but everything pictured is being offered individually in my auctions this week so you can customize your Eichler patio and show global warming who's boss. I have 4 swivel chairs this week...a love-seat...ottoman...cocktail table...2 stable armchairs and two gargantuan round glass-top tables with umbrella holes. You can make new friends or, at least entertain the ones you have. Seriously, if you're looking for outdoor furniture that does and says it all...by the top maker in the field...this is the diem to carpe....quom minimus credula postero. Local pick up in Beverly Hills or Hollywood is no problem. For shipping, I would recommend Greyhound Freight who will ship a chair to Atlanta for $60 or there-abouts. Quand meme, I'll work with the buyers to make sure they pay as little as possible. See those other auctions...figure out who you want over for breakfast or Margaritas at sunset and go for it. Paypal is best but pretty much any standard payment will do if it can be received within 6 days of the close of auction. Don't forget to see those other listings. "

"clicked" (arrgh, typo...)
