MNSurfer Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 We're looking to buy one, two or three ski lift chairs, preferably 2 or 3-person. I've skimmed the cyberspace a bit, but have come-up short. Anyone have an idea of where to procure old chairs? I'm fine with refurbishing them, so condition isn't necessarily an issue, Thanks! -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 you can bid on the first of four ABasin chairs until 5 p.m. today (Monday). bidding is well past $5K for the first chair put up for auction. or you can buy raffle tickets for $50 a piece.

Corey Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 That makes me wonder if you can't buy a new chair for less! Shipping would be a little tough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 at any given time, there is always some resort or another around the country raising money this way. sometimes the money is for the replacement lift, sometimes charity, sometimes to satisfy creditors. depending on the vintage and the provenance, some are more desirable than others, for sure. i assume most end up as porch swings, right ?

Kurt Swanson Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Crystal Mountain (Michigan) de-commissioned their "Cheers" chairlift 2 seasons ago. They were trying to sell them for around $600 a piece and not getting many takers. If they still have some, you may be able to negotiate a sweet deal.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmorita Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Ebay has a few, but you are right that they are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSurfer Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks y'all. Missed the ABasin deal, but seeing as they are to be used as patio furniture, we're looking more around that $500 ea mark. Thanks for the tip, Kurt. I'll do some digging, on that.
