Romantic Optimism!

The following is a for sale ad in the local PennySaver:

Great Buy!!!
Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Entire 6 seasons on DVD. Perfect/ mint condition, only watched once. Asking $225/best offer.

This ad show an optimism that, although crazy, is quite beautiful. Is there really a soul mate buyer out there for our seller? One who is willing to pay $225 for a couple of Dr. Quinn DVDs? What type of idiot thinks they can get someone to pay that kind of money for a show no one watched? You've got to love the romantic spirit required to just go for it. I hope the disappointment isn't too crushing.

Then again, maybe I'm the fool and they'll make that $225.
