I have a hard time with casters, especially when they are in sets of four and big!
What were they asking for them?

Does that price tag say 5.00 even if that is each that is a steal.

I would say you should be severely reprimanded.

I see "4" on the tag. Buck twenty five each. Those retail north of $50 each IIRC.

True, I've never met a set of four industrial casters I didn't like, I think the tag said $159.

If you need them let me know.

Speaking of castors, think I should use these wheels for a set, just a 1" shaft. Be a hell of a shop cart.
OP
You know that you could move with those casters, whatever you wanted.

I looked at the price tag again and can only make out the 5.00. Any way not meaning to get into a ******* match. They are nice casters. The problem I would have is if I passed them up, next week I would need them. I have two milk crates full of casters that I have saved. (Don't tell the milk crate cops on me)

AFAIK, need has never been a determining factor on this forum.
I learned this in a hurry here...

I was at a factory auction several months back. They had 9-10 shop made metal carts maybe 10 feet long by 4-5 feet. They had 1 foot casters on them. 2 swivel and 2 straight. The carts went for $25 each. Two people basically split them. One was a shop owner the other was a scrap dealer.
I wanted one but didn't really want the cart. The casters were bolted on. That is extremely rare for shop made carts. I still think about them from time to time. I wanted them for a future smoker build. Would they be overkill? Yes. Would they be top pimp? Definitely.

If they were $5, you would have a pic of me cleaning them up.
I'll go back tomorrow and check it out again.If they were $5, you would have a pic of me cleaning them up.
Yeah, 5 each would be crazy good deal.

Yes, 5.00 would be a killer deal, I am just going by what I see.
I see it says set of 4 also.
But I have been told that I am blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
