I started a new thread because it’s August now in most of the US and this thread is fucking ruined anyway.

> Continuing the discussion from [Jewel Eye: Staring down the beryl (July Mini-Rants)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jewel-eye-staring-down-the-beryl-july-mini-rants/1020332): I’m going to start off the month with a real mini mini-rant but a funny one. One of my toilet seats broke so I’m looking to replace it. There’s a good one for sale on Amazon for a decent price (on sale) but I can save a little money if I buy “used - like new”. For a toilet seat. Used. (But like new!) What the fuck Amazon?! (I did not opt for the used one just to save $7 in case anyone is wondering.)
