Are there any Central/Upstate NY EBers? The architecture department at Syracuse University is replacing some flat files and university faculty can snag the old ones cheap [$200 for a metal 5-drawer with a top and base]. I bought one for myself last week, but they had two more for sale; I can try to snap them up if someone is interested and the files are still available.
New to EB and been following this thread. Thought others in Northern/Central California might want to check out http://bargainbarn.ucdavis.edu/ - they have two wood flat files up right now:
FILE CABINET, VINTAGE FLAT FILE STYLE, MAYLINE COMPANY, WOODEN, 8 FLAT FILE DRAWERS AND 2 REGULAR DRAWERS. HEIGHT: 2' 4", WIDTH: 2' 10 3/4", LENGTH: 3' 9 1/2". (621)
At 750 apiece I'm definitely not jumping on these, but its a good local source to watch for new stuff in addition to the regular Craigs and 'Bay.

If I hadn't just made a sizable (for me) print purchase this morning, I probably would have hopped on this - if for no other reason than to aid in reclaiming my drawing table. But I'll be happy with my new piece instead... and just keep trying to reduce the rest.bmerwinsuwc wrote:Are there any Central/Upstate NY EBers?
