My wife knows I buy Devold wool undies from Rivendell for $40 a pair. It's not totally illogical that she or another loved one of mine would come up with the syllogism:
Bill seems to buy everything Rivendell sells Bill seems to prefer his Rivendell stuff (like $40 undies) even when there are cheaper options (like $4 undies) Rivendell stuff seems overpriced to me Here's a Rivendell item on ebay that Bill can't get from Rivendell This Rivendell item on ebay seems overpriced Therefore, I'll buy this overpriced Rivendell item on ebay and Bill will love it! Thank goodness my wife is much smarter than that. On Thursday, November 29, 2012 10:40:18 AM UTC-8, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > I think ebay has a free listing promo going on now.
