Someone on CL is selling an allegedly FL Aeron for $350. That's a really good price, right?

I'd say that's too good a price. The used Aerons I see on eBay are about �400-�600 depending on quality, with the �400 chairs being pretty scratched up or with over-stretched fabric that's lot its 'bounce'.

Best case scenario is that it's some guy who has confused his chair with one of the cheaper HM chairs, like the Mirra; or you might be lucky and found a guy who has undervalued his chair.

It could be a stolen chair, but I'm finding it hard to think up a plausible way a Craigslist crack junkie would know about Aeron chairs and price theirs like that (that said, does the CL ad say anything about wanting to sell it fast?)

I'd want to inspect the chair before purchase, even for $350.

It's a college student/grad student who has no idea what she has. Definitely not a scam. So I'm buying this. She also said the price was negotiable :xd:

I guess she could be massively obese, but the fact that it's a woman probably means the chair isnt beat to hell either. I'll make an appointment to come see it after work today.
