    classifieds have been no help over the last few months...

    i'm in search of something like this:

    [​IMG]

    doesn't have to have a base like the one in the pic. wood would be ok too, if it's not rotted or anything. anybody got one that's in their way? ;)

    looking to pay less than 100 bucks, unless you just want to have it hauled off....

    DB...on Friday's they have a 'surplus sale' on campus at NC State, its only on Friday mornings.....they have those there from time to time. You could call on a Thursday and get them to check, before you made the trip up there, to see if they have what you want. 515-5525 is the number the the Warehouse.

    I saw something like that for sale on craigslist..... It's been a while back though.... Think they described it as a horizontal filing cabinet or something like that....

    We have 2 in the office, used, and were not cheap even then.

    Good luck finding one for that price but hey....with the housing market sorta down a little....might be some engineering offices or surveyors looking to get rid of a few things to make an extra buck or two.

    yeah, everybody on craigslist wants waaayy too much for used ones, too. i actually missed out on the only sub-100 dollar one i've seen up in the last 6 months...

    Just look up CAD drawers or chest. CAD drawings usually are stored in pieces like that.

    Habitat Restore has a few of those as of last week that they are keeping knobs in, they may be willing to sell one, as I saw they have a couple. Good Luck.
