I work for 1-800-Got-Junk? And today we had a job hauling a FireKing 3 drawer Fire-Proof Filing cabinet out of a bank, It was in near-mint condition, they just diddn't want it anymore, and couldn't find anyone willing to take it, so they called us...

It weighs about 900 Lbs, and was a bitch to get on the truck, but sooo worth it!

My boss told me I could have it if I wanted, so I called arround, I'm selling it to a used office furniture store on monday for $400!!!

thats a little less than a week's worth of pay! I'm soo geeked right now, w00t!
 
I would have gave you 450 for it, now you just lost 50 bucks. sorry to piss on your parade. 😛😉
 
I went ahead and posted it on Grand Rapids Craigslist, if someone offers me more than $400 before monday, it will go to the best offer...

If you already agreed to sell it to someone for $400, that's pretty shady on your part.

Well the craigslist notice did say the buyer pays shipping, overnight via UPS. 😉
 
never heard of 1-800-got-junk. why not just use the city waste services?

Prolly have to wait for a certain day when they pick up big items. Here its like twice a year.

I don't think too many city waste services will take away a 900 lb item.
 
I've been looking to buy one one those. I'm about 90 minutes south of you, so if you decide to sell it for decidedly less, say, 200, let me know.

edit: Oh, jesus, it's the lateral cabinet? The 38" one? $400 is a steal. Those things can hold tons of things. The fiancee would KILL me. It's not worth $4500, but probably a good $1500. I see new ones for sale for about 2K.

I told the $400 buyer that I would continue to look for better offers over the weekend
 
My Dad loves those things, we have 4 of the tall 4 drawer model in our office now.

The downside? My Dad like to reorganize a lot and we end up dragging the damn things around, they are heavy as crap. I had never known the weight, but 900 lbs sounds pretty close.
