Wow. Cheap start up cost if you want to get into the remodeling flat files business. And probably at least a years worth of work.

That's pretty awesome. If I were closer I'd almost have to go for these. There's definitely good money to be made there if you've got the time, space, and energy.

I would say that you could easily sell them for $100 each, more if you deliver

Its like 10 minutes from my sister's house....maybe an hour west of Chicago. They are the big flat files too and can hold 36x48. Sweet, sweet Fermi Lab.

It looks like the scrap value of steel is around $230 / metric ton. If each weighs around 200 lbs it might be $800 + in scrap.

Step 1: Rent uHaul
Step 2: Let Fermi employees load the flat files while you enjoy a frosty beverage
Step 3: Drop 5 flat files off at house
Step 4: Bring remaining flat files to scrap yards and collect money
