Super User Redlinerobert Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 A collector shelled out $28,341,909 for a chair today. Yes, a chair. The estimate for the piece was between $2,587,711 - $3,881,567, about $25 million below what someone actually paid. :-? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/24/chair-bought-for-28-milli_n_169600.html Quote
Big Tom Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I don't see a built-in toilet or refrigerator. Not worth it. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 That just proves that idiots are in all parts of society , even the well to do. Quote
dave Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I thought maybe it was going to be the "chair" Elvis died on. Quote
Shad_Master Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Yeah, there are a lot of idiots out there - why I have even heard of people paying $18 - $40 for a crank-b....Oh, wait - never mind! Quote
1inStripes Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 It should come with a fridge, toilet and personal area massager for that cost. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 Yeah, there are a lot of idiots out there - why I have even heard of people paying $18 - $40 for a crank-b....Oh, wait - never mind! The chair was probably bought by someone who sells $18 - $40 crankbaits... ;D Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 looks like it has a touch of the herpes Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 That just proves that idiots are in all parts of society , even the well to do. There is an *** for every seat. Literally, in this case. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 i think its pretty ugly... :-? Quote
TrippyJai Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 If that chair was in my house right now, I would probably take it out to throw away. 28kk, I have no idea what happened there... Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted July 29, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 29, 2010 Let's put it into perspective. If this was paid for one chair, imagine the rest of the collection. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted July 29, 2010 Super User Posted July 29, 2010 I know why it costs so much, it's the Mastodon tusks on the sides and the genuine Mastodon leather.... Robert's been busy in his workshop Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 30, 2010 Super User Posted July 30, 2010 People collect chairs??? Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 30, 2010 Super User Posted July 30, 2010 Is farting acceptable with other people in the room if you do it in a 28million dollar chair? Quote
Eddie Munster Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Reminds me of a line from the movie 'Predator' 'One ugly _______ _______' I hope they list the buyer's name; I've got some worthless stuff he might be interested in overpaying for. Quote
