“$7,985 and you’ve got a deal.”

  • About the author MS

I just stumbled across this incredible item, so figured I should mention it. It’s the complete Penguins Classic library for sale on Amazon. More than a thousand books. The price? $7,989.50. That’s down from a list price of more than $13,000.

What I love is the mention of “free shipping.” At first, I thought — no kidding, free shipping. If I’m dropping eight grand on something, you’re getting it to my door at no extra cost. But then I looked at the shipping weight — 700 pounds — and figured maybe waiving the cost is a nice gesture after all.
