chairs at $20 each but they are 3 hours and a half away from me. So I’d have to rent a truck and make the trip. Would you do it??

I rented a truck for a 3 hour round trip for $10/chair for 10 chairs that weren’t gassers but look/feel/function nearly the same. Not sure I’d do it for these but the heart wants what the heart wants so I’m rooting for you!
 
@BPTDirector how long have you been looking on the secondary market? IDK about IL but around eastern MA there's likely a better deal to come along if you waited.
 
Yup, I drove 3 hours each way, Boston to Albany, to pick up 8 gassers. Now, mine were $7.50 per chair, and they all fit in my car, so it was a deal I couldn’t refuse. So you have to do the math on the costs.
But if you’re asking if I’d drive 3 and a half hours for some sweet sweet red gassers? Hell yes!
 
I'd do a cost/benefit analysis.

Is the total cost/effort ($20/chair, 7-8 hours of your time, truck rental cost, fuel cost, etc.) worth it? Or is this a good deal with some FOMO at play?

Up here in Canada, population is much less dense so poker related deals are much harder to come by. If I didn't already have a set of gassers and saw a deal like this 3.5 hours away, I'd definitely jump on it. $20 up here gets you a real crappy folding chair.

Depends on how many chairs, what the cost of truck rental, gas, etc are. But sounds like a great deal I'd probably do it

Me, @JRald07 and @Eazy paid a guy to drive 8 hurs round trip to pick up enough for all 3 of us. Well worth it!!
