With the retirement of the current Pallavicini Lift, and the plan to auction off some of the chairs at various events starting with the Enduro Party on April 8th, which didn't happen. The second was to be auctioned off on April 25th at the Palli Party, which didn't happen. Two other chairs were to be auctioned off some time this month.
Since things went sideways for the end of the ski season, I'm sure they had to put another plan into place, and I heard that the first 10 chairs were going for upwards of $2000.00 (we're currently looking for the source)
From Al's blog on February 14th, before this craziness blew up.
We are going to auction four of the chairs. The first chair will be auctioned at the Enduro Party April 8 in the 6th Alley. The second chair will be auctioned at the Pali Party, a going away dinner for the Pallavicini Chairlift April 25 at Black Mountain Lodge. The final two chairs will be auctioned online in May. All proceeds from the four Pallavicini chair auctions will be donated to the Summit Foundation, FIRC (Family and Intercultural Resource Center), Summit Community Care Clinic and a couple of A-Basin employees going through some significant medical challenges this season.

The other chair from Arapahoe Basin that went a few years ago was the Norway Lift, which held sentimental value for people.
See announcement here - Your chance to purchase a chair from Norway
Pay $5 to win a chance to purchase a Norway Lift chair; all entry fees will be donated to the Summit Foundation. Each chair will cost $550 + tax (limit one chair per person, per household). You can donate more if you wish, but your name will only be entered once. Your entry fee does NOT go toward the cost of the chair. In addition to us donating the entry fees, we will be donating a portion of the total lift sales to 13 local charities in Summit County.
That being said, what establishes the value of a chair?
Do you have a favorite chair that you'd pay a premium for?
Personally, I'd rather have a Molly Hogan chair. Lots of Pugski memories on that one.
