Scored some organizers for $60.

[IPACA9]

I found a guy that had listed a single four drawer parts organizer on Craigslist for $50. I showed up and it was sitting on an even larger one. He said that one was for sale too. I only pulled $60 from the ATM and said I'd have to pass. He surprised me when he said he'd take $60 for both.

The smaller sells at Lowes for $150. I have no idea who makes the larger.

Yep, I think it's worth it.

I wish I had more money with me. When I showed up he was getting ready to roll out to some place that lists stuff on an auction site. He had strapped down to the trailer a couple of nice large fireproof metal cabinets and a nice technicians workbench. He said he'd take $50 bucks each for them. It killed me to have to let them go but I just couldn't afford it. Deals come and go. Just have to be patient. Still kicking myself for it though.

You got a deal, no reason to kick yourself. Sometimes you just don't have the extra cash for all the deals but you went what you were after for and didn't let it pass you by. That's what counts my friend.

That is a really nice score. Those small parts organizers are highly desirable and you never see them come up around here for short money. Nice job!

Found this one too for $20. Missing the top drawer though. Wonder if I can get one or just make a new drawer.

That looks like the ones they have behind the counters at Advance Auto.
A GOOD sheet metal guy (HVAC ductwork) could make you one up. May not exactly match style wise but you could paint it up and be good enough to serve its intended purpose.

For $20 bucks I would move the three drawers up one and either live with an empty space on the bottom, or find a way to repurpose it.

Nice score on the other two organizers!!

i would move the drawers all the way to the top then cut the bottom off of the cabinet and reweld it back together

That's what I was thinking.

Move all three drawers up, put a piece of thin plywood or hardboard in the bottom and store wet/dry sandpaper there. It's about the perfect size. If / when you find that extra drawer, you can replace it.
