Default the Junction Produce ropes/knots as air fresheners!

As a fan of JP I've come across this site hundreds of times over the years and I've seen countless posts about the infamous rope/knot that many VIP cars have hanging from their rear view mirrors.
Now, although I am a huge fan, I could not in good conscious pay $300 for this thing, or even $100 for a fake one on eBay, I did however get a very cheap one for $15. Once a week I take it down and let it soak in a tin of air freshener over night. The next day I hang it back up in my car and the GS smells like roses for another week.
I know many people think it's a silly item to have in your car, but i love the way it looks. If anyone wants one, I will give you one for free, plus the cost of shipping, (maybe two bucks). I do not have the tassels, just the rope/knot.
Please do not ask me if it was made by Junction Produce, if the rope really came from the motherland, or if it was truly blessed by Buddhist monks to ward off evil spirits. It was knot! "pun intended". lol

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't find the thread anymore. I'll try and get pics up this weekend of the rope and the smell-good.

be careful if its colored the dye can get messed up by the air freshener (they are basically nothing but volatile chemical compounds lol) and screw up the coloring.

Just to clear up something for those that might not know...
I know the OP might have been exaggerating, but a tsuna from junction produce does not cost $300. The medium sized tsuna (the size almost everyone is running, with the exception of only a handful nationwide running a large size) should only cost around $120 from JP dealers, anything much more or less should be carefully looked at for authenticity and the reputability of the retailer.
