We all knew the price on that ad was a mistake and it has been fixed

You guys remember that chair that was being sold on Craigslist? The one that was priced at just under $25,000? Well, it actually was a mistake and the price has been fixed and lowered by thousands of dollars...

To $22,750.

WTF!?!

There you have it. An Oakland A's fan wants to sell you that chair for $22,750 and zero pennies. That's a decimal point right there. That's the same chair from before on the roof of dude's house. That's the chair on his bathroom floor. That's the chair in his living room. In this listing, it says it's in "great" condition as opposed to "perfect", so that might account for the valuation dropping by a couple large.

At first I thought that he might actually be selling 455 of those chairs at that price. Like a whole section of chairs for the price of a reasonably priced 2009 model car. Turns out, from what I can tell, he really does want to just sell that one chair for over $22 grand.

I took me some business school once... And even though it was at San Diego State while all the drugs were still on campus... I'm pretty sure that I would consider this particular deal a pass . Just sayin'. Oakland A's fans gotta wake up pretty early in the morning.

What I want to know is...

how’d he get it? I can only imagine an A’s fan decked out in his finest green, in a remote section of the stadium during the 12th inning of some game, hacking away at the bottom of a chair with a smuggled shiv. Seriously, what did he have to do to make it worth so much to him?

I can honestly say

If my wife had given birth to my baby in that chair, it would not be worth over $200 to me.

You'd probably be able to get it pretty cheap

I doubt many other people would want it after that.

Not surprising to me.

The guy probably wanted to expand the market when he heard that there’s a lot of money to be made off of people with stool fetishes.

It was in his bathroom...

WHY?

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
