I just bought this Armchair. How much do you think it costs?
I wonder if I got a good deal, or a sucky deal.
It's covered with leather, it allows one to recline, other than that, it's like a usual office chair.
How much do you think it costs?

I was going to pay 400 € for this:
So If you got that under 200 you got a good deal

Hmm it seems that I've got a pretty good deal, since it cost me 380 NIS including delivery ( I bought it online ), which is 75 Euros, or 85 USD.
What was the last stuff you've bought online?

75 euros? Nice. Is it real leather? Most of the time you know if you got a good chair only after trying it....for countless hours with civ2
Last thing I bought trough Internet was my computer

That's a royal armchair, Laurentius.  here they sell it for almost 1000 Euros. It seems to be some Orthopaedic Mambo-Jumbo.

It depends of the quality of the leather.

I'll cover it with a piece of cloth while I'll seat, anyway. I'll open it for special occasions.

Azazel's chair looks almost the same like my chair at home, and I paid DM250 (€130) 2 years ago, albeit not at an internet discounter, but in an otherwise fairly expensive local store. Hence my €100 estimation. A big discounter can make it still cheaper, so I think you got a good deal, Azazel.

It seems that office armchairs are cheap in Israel, when comparing to Europe...

I just bought a Dell on saturday (I was too lazy to build one this time). Before that it was new speakers for my acura.
I buy lots of stuff via the web but not any furniture.

About 20 bucks. But you really can't compare that way. I keep trying to tell my coworkers that while cheese may be 10 kuai in the supermarket, which is about $1, your not living on a US or western salary. So that chees should be about 3 kuai to be reasonably priced in my eyes.
