    A lot of times, they're free. I gave a dollar a pallet a couple years ago because there were 40 of them used once and in good shape.

    Welcome to the Forum, Outlaw scrapper.


    (edit) Yep, just checked Craig's List. One Free ad on there now for giving away 12 pallets.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I've seen places where they have them stacked according to color. I'm guessing some are worth more than others.

    I work in a lumber yard, and some of our vendors color their pallets. Like Quiksete Concrete's pallets always have yellow sides. They actually charge us like $15 a pallet, but credit it back when we send them back. Other vendors may do the same. Always ask before you take any. It could be costing someone else.
