Someone paid $20k for this. I'm probably going to smash it to bits...

@AlphaKiloPapa It seems like such a waste. Is it not worth hauling away to sell?

@Flick @AlphaKiloPapa Don't....screams in horror 😱

@Flick @AlphaKiloPapa Is nobody interested in buying it?

@AlphaKiloPapa
Really? Why? No room?

@bufordk Homeowners tried selling it for months. People just don't want large furniture like this anymore.

@HebrideanHecate @Flick The homeowner tried for months to sell it. Also got this beautiful dining room set and a bar. Put those in the shop for now.

@AlphaKiloPapa @Flick I suppose the size of it is putting people off, it is massive and a lot of modern houses are small.

@HebrideanHecate @AlphaKiloPapa @Flick Yeah, I think that is doing it. It looks so nice too but space.

@HebrideanHecate @AlphaKiloPapa And brown. I think brown furniture is still out of fashion?

@Flick @HebrideanHecate Honestly people just don't appreciate fine woodworking these days. It's sad.

@AlphaKiloPapa @Flick I always liked old things, even as a child, don't care what is in fashion, I go with what I like.

@Flick @HebrideanHecate @AlphaKiloPapa Millennials only want shades of gray, they never want to be anything but neutral so no one can judge them.

One of the things I had to learn (not related to furniture), is that nobody hates grey, but nobody loves it either. It's fine.

Not just in furniture or automobiles, but in life. Be a grey blob, and you might not offend, but you won't inspire. Nobody will really notice you, and nobody will like you much.

@sj_zero @Flick @HebrideanHecate @polarisera Seeing cars this color actually raises my blood pressure... Like, someone actually picked that color... Wtf?

The car has primer on it but they were like "how do we get it out of the factory faster? We still need to paint it.... Or do we?

@sj_zero exactly! Looks like primer.

@AlphaKiloPapa @sj_zero @HebrideanHecate @polarisera I’m very surprised white is so popular. And that it got that way post-crash, when people had less spare cash for car washes.

@AlphaKiloPapa @sj_zero @Flick @HebrideanHecate @polarisera
>red decline
due to popular reports of police targeting red cars
>white decline
why?
>white resurgence
Apple did that.
>brown decline
it's the color of granddad's car
>brown recover and then decline
because of Obama?
>yellow non-volatility
it's the gold standard of colors. Trust in yellow. Buy a yellow car as a hedge against inflation.

@AlphaKiloPapa @sj_zero @Flick @HebrideanHecate It's all over Calif. Grays everywhere. If anyone has color-by-state, Calif gonna win big for grays.
