Can Someone Give Me $1800?

I have been looking for a new fabulous piece of door hardwear for our front door. (Yes, I said hard"wear" instead of hardware because if I am going to pay what these places are asking, I better be able to at least wear it like a pair of fine Jimmy Choo shoes.)

I found the perfect one - of course I did. Now take a deep breath.... this beauty (which would look absolutely perfect on my front door) is over $1800. You read it right, folks....$1876....not $18.76. I nearly flipped right out of my blue pleather chair. Now the website says that I can buy the Entry Mortise Lock for $1,876.72 and the Full Dummy for $1,293.24. Let me re-phrase that....I would be the Fool Dummy for paying anything near that....

I guess that I will just chalk this up as another "want" in life that I will never have....Jimmy Choos, a giant Louis Vuitton, the diamonds earrings from Tiffany's, ....the list goes on & on & on....
