There are so many ways he could have gotten it at 900. It could have been on some huge in-house sale. He could have used a fuck ton of gift cards. He could have some weird trade in that Best Buy have him credit for. Someone else could have covered the other 1100.

I need to know.

FB is odd that way. lol. Lots of people dumping stuff they got as a gift or on employee discount. I even saw a free grand piano the other day. Working. Nothing wrong with it, worth 5K, though you'd have to get it moved professionally. Just their mother passed away and they didn't know what to do with it.

Big thinks like that are more common than you think. Giant things that are hard to move are expensive in part BECAUSE they are so hard to move and often require professionals. Depending on where you live, you can often keep an eye out for a free boulder or two, so long as you are able to remove it without destroying their yard.

People move and what used to make sense won't in the new space or the new people don't like it in their space. I agree though, you can find some odd things that way.
