Anyone hear stupid enough to pay for overpriced Bassett?

I walked into Bassett furniture and wanted to get a quote for their model that is equivalent to Berkline 090 and found the price was double! Who is stupid enough to pay such inflated rates?

The same people who pay sticker for their cars and pay $8 for a cup of coffee.

Bassett runs sales pretty regularly for 50% off and overy once in a while for 60%. Not bad stuff at those prices. Just wait it out.

Bassett at 50% off makes it equal to the normal price of Berklines. I haven't observed any better "ingredients" in Bassett when compared to Berklines. I do know that Lazyboy is of better quality.

If Bassett puts the equivalent of 090s on sale for $400 in Leather, I will most certainly purchase...

I will say that I know nothing of their home theater seating, just regular furniture.

The furniture prices unlike the electronics never go down, only up. As a matter of fact in a week the Berkline prices will be raised due to higher parts/leather costs, high fuel prices and week dollar.

You will never find 090s in leather (or a chair that is equivalent) for $400 new.

The recliner crusade continues onward...
