I have a chance to pick up four of these Cole Steel 27 drawer cabinets. They're asking $150 each or $400 for all of them. One of them is missing seven drawers which is odd. What do you guys think?

If you can afford to, BUY THEM!
Looking at the pictures I hope they took the pictures the day they got them and they aren't sitting outside or something. We've had quite a few rain and snow days here. I'm going to call them tomorrow. With my business I always offer a trade for some audio work or a remote starter. I got my Mac three drawer tool cart that way. Traded a remote starter for it. I had $45 in parts and took me an hour to install it. We were both happy 
Mixed feelings on those. They can be handy for misc parts, but can also very easily become a catch all for junk. If you have a specific need and place for them I guess, but I personally think a standard tool box or a lista type with dividers would be a better storage solution. To me it sounds like they actually have 5 of them including the one that is missing the 7 drawers.

I don't know if that's a good price or not, because this one I have in my basement shop was given to me. Mine do have a little surface rust here and there.

The more I read the listing it's a little confusing. Do they have four or five? Here's the craigslist ad for them. I'll hit them up about them. For my garage I'm going to be building a mezzanine in it for my hobbies such as RC planes, models and other things. I think these would be handy for some of that stuff. If I did get them I'd probably have my buddy blast them and powercoat them all one color for me. He does stuff for me all the time.
F/S vintage industrial Cole Steel 27 drawer storage cabinet. Very good condition, well taken care of. A great addition to your office, man cave, den, library, garage, local hangout. Each cabinet has 27 drawers to store your stuff in. These came out of a jewelry store so they haven't been abused or beat on. I have 2 gray ones left and 2 green one, and one green one that's missing about 7 drawers, but still in great condition. That one will sell for a considerable amount less. Get them while there around they are going fast!
$150 each buy more than 1 and we can make a deal on both, or buy all four 4
$400 for all of them
I also scored a bunch of these from a lady for $50 that will be handy for all my little things. This is about a third of them

What? Do you have a picture or make on that? I've never seen a unit with a drawer layout of that style with slides of any sort.
