    When space and time mean more than money...

    You'd think there would be money to be made trying to sell these big folding lunch tables but I suppose its probably pretty specialized as well and they just want to free up their building. Probably some school district paid a nice penny for them in the day. I wonder if they'll get any takers...???

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Tables are a specialty thing, but the right person will snag them up hopefully. I had a round table in the old office when I was moving out. It was free, and was starting to annoy me. I needed to finish moving out, so I was about ready to put it on Facebook for $5. The old landlord walked in, and asked about it. He made a $20 offer. He looked for months without finding a round table.

    It just depends on who needs what at the time.

    Regular Folding Tables Have a good market around here for flea-market/garage sale people but I would think those old cafeteria tables would be a hard sale

    I'd use a couple as workbenches, but for the other dozen, I'd have no use for them. If they're a take them all or take nothing deal, that will definitely be hard to move.

    I bet you could offload those on a FB yard sale group or even CL for $10-15/each, YMMV depending on your market. But should be an easy way to double or triple your investment....of course all that depended on how far, how much time involved etc.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    If these are the tables that fold upwards and roll around, they can still be good flea market tables. Cut the benches off and viola!
