Got a call from the manager of a Sports Authority store concerning my craigslist ad. He said he had some shelving from a remodel several years ago that he wanted to get rid of to clear up space, and asked if I could come out today. I said sure, and asked him how much so I would know whether to bring my 16 ft flatbed or not. He said I might could fit it in my pickup, but he would prefer I bring the flatbed just in case. He WAY underestimated. I filled the flatbed with racks and shelving and there was still more. I asked if I could take the flatbed to get emptied and come right back, and he said no problem. Since it was all ferrous, I just took it straight to the yard. Turned out to be 2400 lbs which got me $222. Went back and got the rest, which still almost filled the flatbed again, and it included a pallet jack still in good condition (will try to sell it on craigslist). Still trying to figure out how he thought that might fit in a pickup bed. Anyway, with patience a craigslist ad can pay off.
