Low priority. Looking for about 250 free or very cheap chairs, and buyers for the old pews. No single source had 250 matching used chairs, so expect to combine lots or buy banquet chairs. Budget: roughly $5,000–7,500 used, or $12,300+ new.

Tips

Expect low dollar value for pews: about $50 for a worn pew and $75 or more in good shape, roughly $4–6 per foot. The real win is getting buyers to haul them away.
Pew listing: photos, the length of each pew, the count, and 'buyer removes'. Post the same listing on UsedPews.org and Facebook Marketplace.
Chairs: buy enough of one lot to match, and pick up within driving distance to skip freight.
