My wife found a giant sectional couch that's in "great condition" at an estate sale. She couldn't believe no one bought it for $900. She bid $500 on the last day of the sale and was shocked she won.

I sincerely doubt anyone else even bid on the thing. People with living rooms that large don't buy used couches. We have a relatively large living room and it still sticks out funny.

My wife is so excited. I don't have the heart to tell her that I hate it. So now I'm out $500, stuck with a behemoth of a couch with worn out cushions, and I have to give away the perfectly nice couch we already have.

So... that's interesting.

That is very kind of you to do that to make her happy.
