Used banquet chairs for $5 each, San Diego area

Hey Everyone,

I'm going to check out some used banquet chairs that can be used for my poker tourney. They have 80+ available for $5 each, but I only need 20-24. The guy selling it mentioned that he just wants to off-load them and will give a better deal if someone just buys all of them (minus mine, of course). No pictures as the ad expired off Craigslist, but I'll take some photos today.

Any interest for San Diego people?

Hey Ulysses,

I'm not selling these personally, but his name is Dan and his email is herofix3 A T yahoo D O T com. He's located in Escondido. I got some pictures of the chairs, but I can't upload them at the moment.

Me personally, I'm going to pass. They're not the right color for my game and the condition is so-so. They're definitely used and have stains on the fabric as well as scrape marks on the frames. But they're functional and $5 is the cheapest you'll find these type of chairs. For the stain part, I used some carpet cleaner from Costco and it actually worked very well. There was a dark stain on one chair and it vanished after some scrubbing. If you spray paint the frame and clean the padding, you'll have some nice looking chairs on the cheap.

Ah dang it. I left the pics on my work PC. I'll get em up this weekend if I can.

They're a flat gray color. Email Dan if you're interested and he can show them to you.

I might be in with you on this, I'm heading to San Diego this weekend. Gray huh?

Nah, not gasser. They're typical banquet chairs you'd see at a wedding or conference. They look similar to these but gray with some decent age on them:

Again, I'm just passing this along. I don't know the seller on these, but he seemed to want to just dump these for a quick sale. If anyone was looking to buy all of them, he sounded like he'd sell them for a song. Email him if you're interested.

I was looking at craigslist tonight and saw that the seller re-posted the ad:

Used banquet or meeting or theater chairs

$2 a chair or take all of them (88 chairs total) for $100.

Even in the condition they're in, I think I might pick up some of them. If anything, you can re-do the fabric and paint the frames.

Here are some higher-rez photos that the seller sent me last week:

I'm picking up 26 of the chairs this weekend for $40 total. NICE!

There's another buyer going there on Saturday to pick some up, so I don't know if there are any left after this weekend. Email the seller if you're interested.
