Hey eveyone, I am in great need of a decent manual chair, nothing extravigant. My current chair is a quickie and is not in great shape. I was hoping for a miracle here and hopefully can get one real cheap or free and cover cost of shipping if needed. I do not have a great deal of money but need to find something a bit better than I have cause its frustrating enough. If someone is willing to help me out I will send you my email. The size of my current chair is 16w 17d 19h. I will do what ever it takes not to have to deal with my problem chair. Thank you in advance

Do you need it to be able to break it down on your own? Is the size you listed working for you, or can you deal with something a little smaller? What kind of shape are you wanting it to be in? Like, amazing, or just decent?

Breaking it down either way is fine, a little smaller would work out ok and it just needs to be decent.

I wish I could help you but I don't have a spare. In fact I've only had 2 chairs in my 25 years as SCI. My first chair was a quickie 2 and it was well made...I'm sitting in it now. I bought another quickie GT 3 years ago and it was a pile of junk. Sometimes you can check at the Salvation Army. You'd be surprised at what you can find.

Good luck! Try an ad in your local paper.

top end t6 used http://www.ebay.com/...=item2c5fe3a1fc
Keep searching. right now ebay doesn't have much of a selection. Price out new chairs. call distributors see if they have demo's for sale. Tilite demos are sold often on ebay. Like i said on your wall i got a ZRA for $650 and there was nothing wrong with it

Hi there,

I just posted an ad for a collapsible Quickie wc. How tall are you? The wc I have has been used by a good friend of mine. He is around 6`2`".
