Sentence a Day #3

His Sentence:

Joel soaked in the quaint little shops--the tabaccheria with racks of newspapers blocking the door, the farmacia with its neon green cross, the butcher with all manner of hams hanging in he window, and of course the tiny sidewalk cafes where all tables were taken with people who appeared content to sit and read and gossip and sip espresso for hours.
From The Broker by John Grisham.

His use of epistrophe in the repetition of the clauses emphasises Joel's frustration of being locked up for 6 years and noting all of the "normal" people living "normal" lives.

My sentence:
The couple would like the appliances, and the furniture, and the telivision, and the oven, and the fridge, and most of all, a low price.
