<span style="font-size: large;">I've run across a couple of things on Craigslist and eBay that I've got my eye on.

Brand new these chairs top $1K. The guy on Craiglist is selling his vintage one for $125. I would have to go check it out, but supposedly it's the real deal and not a knock-off. Of course, it's a turquoise/teal fabric and not the black leather I'd envisioned . . .</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiT9P_LcrCXU1xsZSKkWSsbaM4dwiEnq3orYfXYJCTE6qEMfnN_hPAI3ygk_tfxij0zLGAc04_nKk9niZphCyzZBk8gOu2iNNiF_9GQhIC1F88ehnMxtXwT-ryJFvxwWqyHjMxIqUKeD8/s1600/f_16372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiT9P_LcrCXU1xsZSKkWSsbaM4dwiEnq3orYfXYJCTE6qEMfnN_hPAI3ygk_tfxij0zLGAc04_nKk9niZphCyzZBk8gOu2iNNiF_9GQhIC1F88ehnMxtXwT-ryJFvxwWqyHjMxIqUKeD8/s400/f_16372.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/designers/d-g/charles-ray-eames/eames-aluminum-management-pneumatic-vicenza.do"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Eames Management Chair</span></i></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I've just been watching too much <a href="http://blogs.amctv.com/photo-galleries/mad-men-season-4-episode-photos/episode-13-don.php">Mad Men</a>?
