Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hey everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint after Party. You
guys don't know this about me, but I'm currently on
the quest for the perfect office chair. Like I need
a new chair to sit in at home because I'm slouching.
It's got no wheels the chair that I'm sitting and
it's just a dinner table chair that I've gotten where
my computer is. So I need to find a chair.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I found the chair that I want exciting times in
the Roberts House.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
These are the things that excite me. I found the
chair that I want and it was on this New
Zealand furniture website. But it didn't have a price on it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That means it's expensive. Things that don't have a it
means it's bloody.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's in a price on application.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh god, a chair.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
And I thought to myself, I'm sure it is expensive,
but how expensive could it be. It's a chair, it's
an office chair, it's a desk chair, it's a it's
a leather desk chair.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
How much do they think they can charge?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And if I'm going to have the chair forever, it
could be worth spending some money on it, you know,
investing a little bit in the chair.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
How much was the chair?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They've replied to me, and they said, hello, mister Roberts,
thank you for the inquiry about the chair. The chairs
thus blah blah blah, this is the history of the chair,
blah blah blah. The list price for the chair is
thirteen thousand, nine and fifty dollars including GST.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Though that is how can people justify stuff like that,
Winston Churchill's chair or something like a piece of history.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Sat on that chair that's worth that much?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You're right, it's not even a nice looking chair.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I think it's a beautiful chair. I think it is
it worth a first or second car?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Just a chair.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
It's just a reply back.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
They'll go, bro, you asked, just yeah, weird.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
You put the decimal place in the wrong place. That
makes me furious.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm glad I don't like it, because then I'm not
going to be. Yeah, I'm not going to be.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I still love it. It's a it's a beautiful chair.
Can you understand? No, but for that price it will
be phenomenal, well.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Would it?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't know. They also they also said we don't
have any so you we are so expensive. They don't
keep any in stock.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They're no ship. You have to you say, certain prices
and bloody Ford Fiesta.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You have to pay a deposit on that chair for
it for them to get it for you.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
How do people fourteen thousand dollars chair? How do people
think that that's okay?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I think there's a thing so you're rich, and then
there's a thing where you're rich rich and you have
so much money that you don't know what to do
with it, so you just buy stupid stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Of course you know it's but it's quite so silly.
It's not all that many people that are that rich.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, especially in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
No, that's not And that will be why they don't
put the price up there and why they don't have
any in stock, because I bet when they got this
emails that are like, oh wow, someone's inquired about the chair.
That never happened, it's been years. That's so silly, they're
going to be Yeah, I'm going to I'm not going
to reply.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
No, so we're out tie gonna there's.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No risk of me getting this cheer.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, back to Freedom furniture or some ship.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, Freedom is pretty exy as well.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, expensive but great, but expensive.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, the couch that we originally wanted from Freedom we
could not afford.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It was like eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Is that where they You know, you're looking at a
really nice solo couch, that little chair, the puffy one
like a cloud.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's that was out of my price range as well.
It was like three grand for like a for a
single one chair like you you could sit two people
in it. But the couch we ended up buying from
Freedom we got on sale. I think we paid three grand,
which is a decent amount for a couch.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
For a couch, three grand good, fourteen for a chair.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I just read the rest of the email about the
fourteen thousand dollars office chair. If you want it, you
have to pay fifty percent deposits, so you have to
put down seven grand, and then there's a twenty six
week lead time on the chair.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's half a year.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You won't get it. You won't get them for six months.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's like when I bought the couch from Freedom and
then it got.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Damage and then I had to wait a year, and
then they were like, yeah, we'll give you a discount.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Then they never did ah, that.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Is more photographer.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I need to call them. Do you recognize you? Call
Freedom and be like you guys offered us a discount
and you never gave it to us.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
You can I have a refund for where's the free
part of freedom?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Or is that? Or is that a bit sad?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well you need to have they need to have something
that you want to buy.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's I could find something.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yeah, they've got us pillows.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
But then you're spending money that you weren't going to
spend otherwise, so you're actually not saving any money.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But they could just give.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Us a store credit and then if there's time down
they probably won't.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
They'll just say they discounts something else.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I'll be like, sweet, well you can just give me
something for free.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Do Freedom do the cafes and their store still, because
it could give you a bit for the cafes your.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Money, beckons, she's got.
