What a deal.....

So last night I am doing my daily "craigslist" browse, where I look threw tons of things people are selling. Normally the search consist of laughing at peoples junk they have posted and want large sums of money for, or oohing and ahhing at the "good stuff" I could never afford.
But last night was different, although I do a daily search...I have never actually bought anything ( come to think of it nothing I have ever listed sold either, why I have become so involved with this site I will never know) but that's besides the point. Last night I came across a posting for a brand spankin new plush recliner, that heats up,vibrates, has two cup holders and a spot for the remote...
Now I have always been skeptical of recliners, expecially the tricked out... bells and whisels type. Mainly because I have never come across one that is being used and actually works still. But my husbend loves them, he always wants to go and try them out at the lazy boy store and we have gone to all of the stores with in resonable driving distance that have this comfy chairs so he can test them out, and try and talk me into one of these "treasures" .
Now back to last nights post, the listing did not include pictures, but it did include there smokin hot price! So I called...
The cutest, oldest sounding lady answered the phone and reported that it was a brand new delux model that she had won playing bingo, but that the chair was simple to big for her and she felt like it was trying to swallow her.
The odd part of the conversation is when I asked what color it was, she descibed it as "well honey I would call the color Tacky" which I thought was a weird way to "sell" the chair. But because by now Jimmy was involved...we loaded up and went to go check it out.
When we arrived at the house to my delight the recliner was a warm brown, that wasnt tacky at all. Infact, I was pleasently surprised.
We each took it for a spin, and it was the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. We simply couldn't leave it there and for the price it was one heck of a deal. I must say the hours I have spent on Craigslist have finally payed off, and Jimmy has never been so stinky HAPPY with his long awaited recliner!!!!
