John Thain's Office Furniture - On Craigslist!
 |
AP |
Someone has posted Thain's $1.22 million in opulent office furniture on Craigslist!
Here's your chance to buy a piece of infamy. Ok, not really...I guess.
"It has come to our attention that there is a great deal of value in the furniture that is no longer needed from the office of a former CEO," the ad states. "We have decided to put it up for sale."
The items include:
- "Antique area rug, has some spots that are worn down from pacing but easily covered with other furniture $87 K"
- "Sofa, has been slept in a few times but is very comfortable $15 K"
- "Velvet curtains, very similar to the curtains from Gone With the Wind $28 K"
- "George IV Desk, rarely used $18 K"
- "Chandelier, still sparkles despite the current economic environment $37 K"
- "Mirror with silver frame, has a few kiss marks we are trying to get off $5 K"
- "Mahogany pedestal table, might have been stood upon but still in great shape $25 K"
- "Off-white parchment waste can, perfect for shredded documents $1,400"
By the way, "Price is not negotiable. The buyer must be willing to come in the middle of the night for haul away as we do not want any additional people to see it than necessary."
