    where, how much to pay, 6x1x1 ft school lockers?

    Need about a dozen of them and there's no way that I am paying $60 each plus shipping from ebay. Not long ago, I loaded over 100 of them from a school, sold as scrap metal. 55 lbs each, they're worth at most $30 each, if I go get them myself. Moderate to heavy rust, I don't care. Small dents, or even big ones or need some welding, I don't care. I'll fix them, but $15 each if I gotta do all that, to all of them.

    If you are located in the north east I can pm you an auction site that might help you out.

    i'm in OK City, but if the price was really right, maybe I could get a partial truck load, especially if they were not assembled? thanks. I guess that you have to pm me first. I don't see anything giving me the option of pming you? thanks.

    Ive seen several school auctions the last few years, they have been consoladating a lot of the smaller schools.They Normally sent all there surplus back to the state for them to offer to other agencies or groups that qualify, but i suppose just the volume of stuff it was way easier to just auction where it sits.
