Yep, no need for more magnesium just yet. You've enough.



I think I'm using too much Magnesium... :-\

I have never seen Akira (not much into animes), but I like that poster, Ed (even though I don't know what it is).  The red really pops.  Nice.

Thanks T. Nice Mad Max wildings - the film is spectacular and well worth checking out if you've not yet.

Craigslist is your friend. Brand new those things are, like you said, crazy expensive. I found mine on craigslist by searching 'flat file'. I'd seen the one I bought a week or so earlier but it was listed at $699. Too much for me, but I kept watching it. Then the seller dropped the price to $399 and I pounced (maybe prematurely, but whatever). From first message to in my garage took less than 8 hrs (and that was because I was very inefficient in the way I went about it). The guys I bought it from are storage locker auction buyers and this was in one of them. They were about 15 miles away and agreed to meet same day, so one inspection and one rental truck later, it was all mine. I didn't do an exhaustive price search online but from what I was seeing, brand new 24x36 sized 3-5 drawer wood cabinets were starting at ~$649 and easily broke the $1k mark. For 10 drawers that are over 40x50 in wood, I'm pretty happy. ;D

I saw lots of metal ones on my craigslist, some of which looked nice, but I prefer the wood. Goes nicer with interior decor, imho. But I think people here have been lucky enough to even find free metal cabinets if you look long and hard enough (for some reason I want to say Rich mentioned that once a while ago).

The usual going rate 'round here is $150-200 per used 5 drawers for metal, with a $50-150 or so premium for wood.  So it's a nice pickup from that perspective - although the whole having to rent a truck and all can certainly bump up the costs... In my case it was an $80 last minute rental for a $50 five drawer (wood, but not as snazzily presentable).  I still need another 5-10 drawers, but have lost a lot interest in trying to get them...

At this point, the 'free' thing for these is almost a relic of another time, when the market was flooded with them due to the conversion to online workplaces and before the screen print freaks found a need.

BTW, if anyone uses Craigslist for regular searches and are not using IFTTT then you are wasting time...

Good pricing where you are, archie.

I dont think i've ever seen them on CL, for that price, here in LA. Tho, it makes me want to start looking again, that's for sure.

Thanks for that info.

Not quite true, Jeff.  I bought 3 flat files last year from Laguna Beach for $100 each.  I drive a Sequoia, so I did 2 round trips over two weekends to pick them up.  Brand new.  The larger size.  Like everything else, it's all about looking and waiting for the right ones to come along.  If you're in a rush, you pay.  If you're patient, you get a deal.  

I already need 3 or 4 more so I'm looking again.

True only in the fact of the prices that i had seen the various (not a lot of times searching), for them. I didnt see prices that low on the listings I happened to come across.  ;)

And waiting is key.. no doubt.. and why i have yet to snag one for the right price.  ;D

Paul, that Batman / Superman quads are fantastic. I really like the fact that there is hardly any lettering. Many congratulations.

Your poster sort of reminds me of this one. Instant classic.

These 2 came in just this morning after a torturous journey from the US. I like them but I think I prefer the quads Paul posted.

So was anyone taking bets on how long until I bought one of these? Now just need someone in England to find me the quad.

Before anyone asks no I don't own any 27x40 frames, I think this actually make only the third 27x40 poster I have bought to keep.

Nice.  I just can't convince myself to buy it at the price it's at.  Maybe one day.
