Hi,

I'm looking for some chairs for an outdoor garden in a bar I'm opening this winter. The older the better and also looking for a gondola car or two. Love those old pod looking ones.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

You could go for one of the single chairs from Mad River Glen. bidding for those starts at $1000 each. I think they are doing the auction soon. It is kind of the wrong time of year though, but come spring there will be more available as lifts are torn out and replaced.

Here is one on eBay:

Call Big Sky Resort. I know they have some old gondola cabins for sale and a bunch of other chairs in their boneyard. Ask for the lift maintenance manager. Need help email me.

I know a guy who lives in the Seattle area that has around 40+ chairs from an center pole riblet in his back yard. He's trying to sell them, so let me know if your interested, and I'll get his contact info. He has been shipping them cross crountry, so Brooklyn shouldn't be a problem.


This is one of the chairs........
