Cheap flat file?

[SurfingJeff]

I'd go wider. I have a couple 40" prints.

Agreed - especially if you want to collect anything from Mr. Horkey.

If anyone in ATL needs one, this just came up on CL but probably need to hurry at only $100:

Damn! Just when I'm in the market for one..

Randomly found a flat file for sale on craiglist today for $150, excellent condition and with these dimensions 46-1/2" W x 35-1/2" D x 15-1/2" H

Very pleased!

I too got lucky with Craig's list. Found one today I wouldn't mind buying. The only problem is the flat file is huge! 53.5" x 41.5" and 16.5" tall. 5 drawer and pics show the condition is decent. The price tag is a steal though for the dimensions. Only $150 but the man made the mistake of putting OBO so I will probably be able to squeeze him down to $100.

I can't get lucky with flat files in Austin

Are these drawers too short? It's 16" high, but has 10 drawers. That seems a bit ridiculous. After factoring in material width and the case size, that's only about 1.25" for drawer height.

$50?! That's unheard of here.

5 2.5" vs 10 1.25". It's a push.

You cannot go wrong with $50. Honestly the only thing you would really need to worry about would be if there was enough space for any weights that you would use on the prints.

See, I think summoner's point is pretty valid here. I think those drawers are just too short if I'd need to weigh anything down. I already have another 5-drawer file. Think I'll pass on this one. Anyone in the Twin Cities that wants it, have at 'er.

Also, from the picture it doesn't look like there's a top and that can of liquid wrench and a bunch of metal tools have been sitting in that top drawer for who knows how long.

this isn't cheap but it's really nice. Auction is in Chicago & bidding starts at $250 + buyers premium. They will ship it, contact auction house for details. I know stuff like this prob doesn't appeal to most people. Those looking for something classy to store their art in will appreciate flat files like this are hard to come by.

Venice, FL --> currently $20 with a day left on eBay -- needs a bit of work and handles but still a great deal

Culver City, CA --> four files for $500 on eBay -- find a few friends and split the cost

[thisisjosh]

That may be for one only. I'll ask.

Anyone in Orange County, CA

HELL OF A DEAL if you have room

I think I just landed two 5-drawer files for $75 total off of CL. They're Safecos. The guy said there's someone ahead of me in line, but I'm going to force the issue tomorrow over lunch if the other dude hasn't committed.

Holy fudge, that's a steal. $100 just for one would be a good deal!
