New furniture for downstairs living area

Perfection.

Making a quick calculation that the proprietor might be willing to part with such “undesirable” merchandise at a discount, I offered seventy-five percent of the asking price—a savings of more than $300.

He jumped at it.

But back downstairs, once we had arranged to have the pieces delivered, he took me by the elbow and steered me back towards the half-keg coffee table.

“Very high-class piece,” he said.

“It’s nice, but I don’t think…”

“Fifty percent off, and free delivery for everything.” He really was a very persuasive salesman when he tried.

I admit I wavered a bit. Maybe it wasn’t so hideous after all. Maybe we could use it as a trough for the neighborhood horses to drink from.

Or firewood, if we’d had a fireplace.

“We’re done here, thank you,” Michael said firmly, guiding me from the store.

It’s so great to be saved from yourself sometimes.
