I don't think that cost $20 to make. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 03:55:57 PM

I got three bookshelves at IKEA for £60 total. Why would anyone pay $950 for something that clearly cost them $20 to make?

Just the labor would be much more than that.

Buying bookshelves - is this too pricey? Aeryn - 04/11/2009 04:11:45 AM 687 Views

Way too pricey for what you get. *NM* Tom - 04/11/2009 04:21:23 AM 118 Views

Most shelves are "no tools required, minimal assembly" Tom - 05/11/2009 07:50:45 PM 304 Views

They look nice, but there's no way I'd pay $950 for them, personally. Nate - 04/11/2009 04:54:50 AM 357 Views

i'd never pay that much for bookshelves. seriously. temeraire - 04/11/2009 06:25:31 AM 309 Views

Was it made in the US? Tim - 04/11/2009 04:52:07 PM 344 Views

Unless they are handmade, it probably is pretty close to that snoopcester - 04/11/2009 05:11:50 PM 326 Views

You're right. It probably cost less. Tom - 05/11/2009 07:58:28 PM 303 Views
