So I go out and get an AWESOME Score frm a badlly worded CraigsList add I almost didn't read, rush home and get the trailer, rush back, get them on and go home with a real big grin.

My wife comes out this morning and says " I thought you got something cool, what on earth are you going to do with all those filing cabinet looking things, you have your paperwork all over the floor "

I simply smile and think to myself, I really have to find someone who appreciates this.

So I thought of this place .

Here is my trailer when the sun comes up ...... good old Craigs List and bad add wording :pimpflash

Lets just say it was about the same as I paid for my single used Lista 11 Draw a week earlier :drool:

Something about Heavy Steel Draws, the guy removed it as soon as I said I would take them, worked for me.

Just got to work out how I am going to get them off and into the shed.

You are one big ****! What a deal, great score. Now you need castors. Take the drawers out and they will be quite a bit easer to handle.

lol luckily I have an old Forklift that should do the job.

I would say when I am finished I will no doubt still have a few empty draws that need filling. I never imagined I would get a buy like that. On a bright note I have a heap of nuts and bolt storage setup which will be for sale cheap to make way.

you really ****. I have been looking for some Lista box, but there is never a good deal. You could sell some off and make some good money.

Excellent score and smart use of CL buying techniques. Be quick, have cash and tell em you'll take em. Poorly worded ads make for great deals. Plus there is great likelyhood the guy had nothing or little in them so he was happy with the price too.

Total YOU **** for snagging 6 nice Lista's on CL.

I was bidding on new 7 drawer Lista's that OKC had at military base. They sold between $640 and $840 that was just outside what I could spend.

So based on coy grin I think you have on your face, I doubt you spent anywhere near $3K . . . . so tell us, what it set you back?

Thats how i found my last one, listed as a tool box, guy had no calls.

11 drawer Stanly V $ 250.00. Not quite as nice as the ones you have.

Nice find.

Yeah but my issue is if I sold it then I would want it. I will end up using them all or cutting some in half to go under the bench.
