Shopping for shipwrecked furniture, we realized that if an item has "distressed" in its description, about one-thousand dollars are added to the price tag to somehow reflect the degradation.  Similarly, used copies of our latest book, Franzlations, get more expensive as their quality deteriorates. For example, a copy in "very good" condition is going for $95 on Amazon.com, while a merely "acceptable" copy costs a whopping $500!
