    UNIQUE SCULPTURED DOLPHIN COFFEE TABLE – $1250

    For a discerning buyer or decorator looking for something a little different. Unique and contemporary sculptured coffee table with base of dolphins (momma, papa & baby) swimming together. Free-form thick glass top simulates ocean surface, with two of the dolphins’ fins appearing to break the waters’ surface and sit on top of the glass. Bought this from an upscale waterfront store in Annapolis, Maryland for several thousand dollars a few years ago as I fell in love with it when I saw it featured in their storefront window. Has been pampered and gently used, but looks fantastic. We’re changing decorating themes, so here’s a chance for you to get an expensive piece for a fraction of what I paid.

    For the discerning buyer who would spend $1250 on something that looks like dolphins freezing to death on a polar ice cap. Seriously, the definition of “discerning” with which I am familiar does not involve spending $1250 for something that, as my submitter said, looks like it belongs in the Museum of Overpriced Nautical Cheese.

    Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

    I have 5 Dyson vacuum cleaners in great condition.DC17 Animal-$350,DC07 All Floors-$200
    DC Absolute Asthma and Allergy-$300,DC17 Absolute-$300 and an All Floors-
    $200.

    Because the only place better than your backyard to take a picture of vacuum cleaners is in a parking lot.

    In my mind, the vacuum cleaners are racing each other. The yellow one is clearly winning in both pictures. Go yellow! Whoo-hoo!!!!

    I won’t even get into the deep, existential questions this post brings up, such as “Why do you have five Dyson vacuum cleaners?” Some mysteries are just better left unexplored.
