Awesome! ...and ugh.
Cup of Rum

I made my first eBay purchase today: a set of vintage 1960 chairs and matching table, all in Fine condition, made by Burke Furniture of Dallas, Texas. Even at the "Buy It Now!" price, the set was a steal (when looking for them online, I found single chairs going for as high as $1200, or as low as $325 in Poor condition).

I began looking for them because I'm a big fucking Star Trek geek (they're the chairs used in the original series, as well as a bunch of other '60s and early '70s shows), but they'll be perfect for my planned '60s Mod renovation of my basement lair.

The downside is that the guy won't ship, so I get to make a road trip next weekend. To Cape Cod.
