At this point I’m just waffling between colors; I plan on going back at lunchtime and buying, yes, buying it. I’m going to roll the dice on this one. Hopefully no one says I told you so at some point in the future, but feel free to give me shit if it works out that way.

Probably worth negotiating now to see if you can get enough knocked off to make it worth it.
