Defamer is committed to keeping its readers apprised of amazing opportunities to acquire unique pieces of television history through the anonymous, online swap-meet known as Craigslist. Today's featured item, which we hope is not cynically trying to profit off the sudden loss of series creator Aaron Spelling, is a piece from the incredibly valuable Dylan McKay collection:

COUCH AND CHAIR SET USED ON FAMOUS T.V. SHOW - $450 These rustic and comfortable couch and chair were used on the set of Beverly HIlls 90210. They were in Dillan's vacation house.

They are very comfortable and big enough to sleep on both of them. They are black with log frames.

We'd like to offer the seller some unsolicited advice: In Los Angeles, nearly every piece of thrift-store furniture had a previous life in the entertainment business, so one has to make an item stand out, even if that involves some resume embellishment. Noting its 90210 pedigree is a good starting point, but placing them in "Dillan's [sic] vacation house" is too unambitious a description. With the wealth of well-publicized on- and off-screen dysfunction surrounding that show, a potential buyer is more than willing to believe almost any punched-up backstory offered, knowing that being able to brag that he owns "the couch where Shannen Doherty forcibly sodomized Jason Priestly with a fireplace poker for complimenting Jennie Garth's new haircut" might help him get laid.
