What's wrong with this picture?

I subscribe to an email listserve of several thousand homes in our neighborhood. It's a valuable resource where people share recommendations on everything from restaurants to dentists to churches, post questions or tips on childcare and home improvements, complain about people who don't pick up after their pets, inform neighbors about "suspicious activities," etc. The listserve has become extremely valuable to me and, in fact, it's where we got our roofer, our auto body shop, and our accountant.

Sometimes, though, the posts just crack me up. Let me preface this by saying that some of the people in our neighborhood live in very nice houses and have quite a bit more money than we do. Still, how out-of-touch is this person?

We are changing our decor and no longer have a place for the 1920s Camelback sofa we bought from Random Harvest a couple years ago and had upholstered with fabric from Mastercraft Interiors - blue and white stripes with a thin gold line accent. The sofa was located in a room that doesn't get much traffic so it is practically like new, probably used (sat on) less than half a dozen times. Photos are attached. We paid $1,980 for the sofa + $878 for the fabric + $395 for the upholstery labor for a total of $3,253 but are willing to sell for much less. Contact if interested.

I honestly did not know that it was possible to spend so much money on an ugly couch. If, in the unlikely event I was going to spend $3,200 on a sofa, I'd be sure it was comfortable, attractive and something I'd use more than "half a dozen" times!
