I made business with a old guy that fixed my chair some years ago and he said his most common business was creating gaming chairs from car seats. If this is a think I can extrapolate that airplane seats are also a thing

I used to work in resale, both estates and in a ~~junk shop~~used furniture boutique. I've never come across an airplane seat, but I've sold everything from church pews to slot machines, even a Lotus Elise one time.

I guarantee that these are someone's bread-and-butter. Somewhere, someone knows a guy who scraps planes in Nevada, and makes a trip out there once or twice a year to load his truck for a couple hundred bucks. I'm out of the game now, but I'll always appreciate the ingenuity of that subculture.
