Supposedly Aeron chairs don't depreciate much over time. You could sell the chairs and even get most of your money back! I recall reading somewhere that the Aeron chairs companies bought during the big bubble were their most valuable assets when they went under.

Schadenfreude indeed.

They're like cars -- they depreciate a great deal as soon as you drive them off the lot, but then depreciation slows considerably. If you buy a used one and keep it in good condition, it probably won't depreciate hardly at all.
