I can not stand when you see a post bragging about a good deal, and they don't say how much it cost...our ideals of a good deal may be very different so it is hard to feel inspired by it.tarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232300887166634285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826069830006072665.post-91176744942646782782010-05-10T23:39:07.735-04:002010-05-10T23:39:07.735-04:00I agree, posting prices is ok in my book.

Besides like the others mentioned it provides proof that u can have nice things without breaking the bank. Look I live in California, in the bay area no less.

I love a good find and since I've never EVER found the types of things you do for those prices--certainly never in New York and not even in Bitty City, North Carolina where I live now--it's good to live vicariously through you. Plus, sometimes when people claim they've scored, it's that metropolitan kinda score where because you paid $2500 instead of $5000, it's considered a bargain (not!). You are the true bargain hunter and I need to get to Toronto with a quickness.Simone From Elizabeth Citynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826069830006072665.post-69154498115656171972010-05-08T18:25:58.516-04:002010-05-08T18:25:58.516-04:00i say post the pricing! it seems authentic to your...i say post the pricing! it seems authentic to your nature and you shouldn't care what others thing if it's natural to you. i like it because it's relate-able that way!Jessica O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995282604340361116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826069830006072665.post-39902187306800020582010-05-08T16:08:49.853-04:002010-05-08T16:08:49.853-04:00"sunny - yes, tacky was the word i was lookin..."sunny - yes, tacky was the word i was looking for. like, am i tacky for posting how much i pay for things? lol."<br /><br />@Kay: hey if it is, we are both tacky.

So I paid $60 for two. the 6 drawer dresser that matches was $80 with 50% off...$40. So $100 for all 3 :) I'm pretty certain it's teak (definitely not laminate), amazingly well built and in perfect condition.
