Ok, *this* is impressive. Is this one of those Brooks saddles with the narrow rails? Hard to tell. If so, the buyer will then need the usually-very-expensive and hard-to-find Campagnolo post for narrow-rail saddles. Total package, for post and saddle, could start to close in on a grand. Like I said...I'm impressed.
Even for the saddle alone, I'm impressed. Yeah, it's supposedly NOS, but *still*---jeez.

If this [an impending economic meltdown in the United States] is to be dealt with in any meaningful way, it means the entire US political and economic establishment will have to be removed, and we will have to commit to at least a whole generation of bottom-up, radical changes in every single facet of our lives.
That would merely begin with dumping half the so-called service sector jobs in the entire economy, beginning with prisons and working up, into a massive jobs training program, draconian progressive taxation that limits personal income to $100,000 a year, a minimum wage of $20 an hour with imposed price controls, free universal health care, the expropriation of agribusiness and systematic abandonment of capitalist agriculture, the strict rationing of electricity, and the construction of a nationwide public transportation network as a first step to dramatically reducing dependence on fossil fuel.
