Me running the NE Georgia Swap Meet is like a drug addict running his own pharmacy! 
Picked this up at the swap meet on Saturday, for $30.
He was asking $40, which was a good price I thought, but I'm a cheap ******* and asked if he'd do $30.
I've downsized from a 32x40 shop (that was stuffed with cars and parts and the work area was getting smaller) to my girlfriend's 20x20 garage... and she has to be able to park her car in it, too!
So I've decluttered, and got real efficient with my layout. I've got two Craftsman rollaways (my dad's crowntop, and mine from the mid '80s), and they're pretty full. I'll hang this between them, re-org a couple drawers in the two boxes, and use the 16x16 top as an occasional work surface and catch-all. The ledge in front of the top boxes usually is the catch-all, and I ALWAYS have to move things to get the bottom drawers open. This will be a huge help in my small shop.
Funny thing is that I saw the box first, looked it over, then found the owner and asked what he was asking for it--$40. When I walked back to it, my buddy was looking it over, and I said "He's asking $40 for it." He said "Wow... that's a really good price." I said "Yeah, it is." Turned around, went back to the owner and said "Would you take $30?" He smiled and said "Sure!" at just about the same time my buddy's head snapped around and he stared in disbelief, and then yelled "You ****!"
I'm debating whether or not I should strip and repaint it, or just clean it up real good and hang it.
No key, so I may get a t-handle for it... don't want to keep catching the handle while I walk past the box though, so I'm still on the fence about that.
I need to either replace or repair a couple of the slides, too--the catches are missing on at least one drawer.
