Jordan's Furniture decided to make a deal back in March 2007. They told their customers that all mattresses, beds, sofas, or dining tables purchased between March 7 and April 16 would be FREE if the Boston Red Sox won the 2007 World Series. Well, as we all know the Red Sox won. So is it time for this guy to pay back the 30,000 people who cashed in on the deal? He was smarter than I thought. He actually wont be paying back all of it. He purchased an insurance plan for $20 million to cover some of the deal. They never mentioned exactly how much will be paid back but here is a little math for you: $20 million/30,000 people is roughly $667 per person. I think that he is still going to be paying quite a bit of money out of his own pocket. Last time I checked some furniture cost more than $667, and that's only if each person only purchases one item.
Maybe we should start a help out Jordan's Furniture fund. We could do a car wash or something.
