    Here's an ad in my local CL free section: Free Wooden Pallets and crates

    Curious if the crates would be any less or more valuable that regular pallets.



    If you have some type of tile/porcelain/cement product manufacturing business in your area they might be interested in getting those. Plus those crates may be reused for a different purpose, perhaps with a bit of work. Not sure what that purpose would be but if someone is doing it already, they may be interested in buying those.

    Just my $0.02

    I'd actually be able to get crates like that as well, but it's tough enough finding someone that will buy the pallets. I may grab a few though and put them on CL, see if there are any nibbles. And hey, if not, they'll be good for scrap sorting!

    I have a friend back east who has had luck selling to the freight services at the airport. If you are close to one you might give that a try.

    That's actually not a bad idea...Albany Intl does a lot of freight. Thanks!
