Jackpot?

I bought a used office chair today from a used office furniture place. It had good leather, high back and felt great. I was googling today about the chair and I found it on the manufacturer's website here. Apparently it's called the Vitra Imago and it's like a high end snazzy chair designed by some Italian dude named Mario Bellini whose signature is engraved on a a metal piece on the back of the chair. The exact same chair in grey is on eBay starting at $1,295. It's going new for $4740 over here.
Most places selling it are in German so I can't figure them out, but I know that the $75 I paid was probably a pretty hot deal. 🙂

Hell yeah, if people would actually pay that kinda money for a chair.
I'm gonna be watching those chairs on ebay. If they sell for alot of money I'm putting this baby up for sale. But it's doubtful. As of now they have 0 bids.

It feels like any other chair really. It's not like my ass feels $4,000 better.

Probably does not feel that different either, except the leather is really nice and the reclining is cool, because there's a hinge in the armrests so they kinda lean back too. Hard to explain. Why anyone would pay more than $100-200 for a chair is beyond me.

This is more than you want to spend but it's well worth it. I have that chair too and I love it.

I'm not a fan of the leather quality in the Lane chairs...we have a few of those around the office....

They may not be top-notch leather, but for what you pay it's an excellent deal. They are good, comfortable chairs.

The one on eBay is Enr0n memorabilia though.

Yeah, but he's selling it for way cheaper than retail.
Those Enron ones are new.
