The 2006 Needless Markup Christmas Book

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Well, I got an e-mail from Neiman Marcus in my inbox today annoucing that the 2006 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is out.

In the Fantasy Gift Dept, there's these fun offers:

A private Virgin Galactic charter to outer space for $1.764 million. Will it actually happen? Now-defunct Pan Am sold tickets to outer space in the 1970s, and they never made it there...
A skyscraper made out of pencils for $6,000 (small) or $40,000 (large). I bet that Staples charged them under $100 for the materials. For the large one.
Jacques Fath's Couture Archives are yours for $3.5 million. And a bottle of his Yang will cost you 1/100,000th of the price if you look around.
This year, BMW provides the car... an M6 convertible for $139,000. What, no M7?
Finally, for the kids, there's a custom backyard water park for $100,000 and up.

With prices and stuff like this, no wonder people call them Needless Markup.

This book must be a true blessing for people who don`t know what to do with all their money!
