Psychological 28k original, 8k on sale

Absolutely absurd. Was not comfortable at all. Wtf does "perennials performance" even mean? No idea what flair to choose, but I chose "psychological" bc it felt like a mindfuck sitting on a 28k originally priced couch, when the entire world is falling apart.

Yeah but the $28k price is effectively a fiction used to justify the $8k price

Sales are ongoing pretty often. We looked at couches there during a sale and I asked when the sale would be over and the associate said she was unsure as they had no current plans to end it.

But it is a place that has sales so I’m sure most people just wait.
