    I know every new flatbed driver out there wants brand new shtuff to make his loads/truck look good, but new is expensive. You can find good used equipment on facebook from any number of drivers from the ones who retired to the ones that crashed and burned. All of it for about half of new cost. Some of it, like my new (to me) chain cabinet, might require a little sweat equity. Some is new and had just not gotten used yet.
    I recently bought a 3 door chain cabinet and a step box for just under $1700. Both are in good/ very good condition and I saved myself $1700.... Like I said, they need cleaning but they're structurally solid and the money saved can be used for other parts/accessories I may want/need later.

    Post a picture of the cabinet you bought...

    Most of the used equipment I've seen listed on this site is way overpriced... Maybe FB has better deals...

    The straps are augmenting the strength of the bolts for now, until I get to my garage to better secure it.

    Looks good. Some aluminum cleaner should shine that thing up to looking new.

    Meh. Bout the same. “I have 4 used (read junk) 4 inch straps and 1 new one: $100 for all, must pick up no shipping”
    :/

    N as far as selling stuff on there that’s good and reasonably priced, imo there’s less interest than here if anything, and almost entirely tire kickers.
    “Oh I just realized you’re 1000 miles away from me”
    “The hot water heater in my apartment died last nite so I can’t buy that exhaust”
    If I hadn’t deleted them, I could post screenshots of exactly those messages.
