A slab 1.5" thick, 32" wide, and 180" long is selling for the low, low, violating-our-fiduciary-duty-to-the-stockholders low price of... $2,010.90, which includes a 25% discount.   |
When I worked for Elliott. We would get equipment from Brazil shipped in crates made from Brazilian hardwood. When we shipped the equipment back. It was in crates made from pine.
What happened. Had the General Foreman come in one weekend, when we wasn't working. He, and his brother took the crates apart and load them up in the back of his truck and trailer. We are talking about crates that was 20ft long. When it was time to ship things back. No one could find the crates. So we had to make new crates. From what I heard. He remodeled his game room with the wood.
