Rant: Dropped $400 on a stairlift that barely works now

I bought a secondhand stairlift for my dad off Craigslist for $400 thinking I saved big. After 2 months the motor started grinding and now it's stuck halfway. Anybody know a reliable repair guy in the Chicago area or should I just bite the bullet and rent one?

Ha, sounds like you bought a sad chair with an attitude problem.

Got a buddy who bought a gaming chair that literally leaned to the left no matter what he did. He spent two weeks emailing support trying to prove he wasn't just sitting weird in it lol. They finally sent him a new base and it still tilted, so he just gave up and uses a pillow to prop himself straight.

That's honestly hilarious. Your buddy should've just bought a regular office chair instead of that flashy gamer stuff. The whole "gaming chair" thing is a scam half the time anyway. You're paying extra for a logo and some weird bucket seat design that destroys your posture. I learned the hard way after my old one broke down in 8 months. Regular mesh chairs are cheaper and actually work.
