    Remodeling? I'll buy your used displays.

    I've decided to remodel (expand) one of our satellite offices. Usually, we would have our carpenter custom make displays to outfit the unit, but in this case, we don't want to invest those kind of resources to this project.

    Ideally, I'd like to buy an entire office of displays. If you are putting in a new dispensary, we will disassemble everything and remove it from your office before, or on the day your displays arrive. Of course, I will pay you for the displays, but keep in mind that my level of cheapness is legendary!


    Also, if you have decided to close your practice, I might be able to buy the entire office, including chairs, stands, phoroptors, etc...

    If you are remodeling, or know someone who is, send me a pm. or e-mail me at:

    Braheem, I believe that Johns has bought entire office cheaper than that first display.

    I was afraid the decimals were 2 places too far to the right.

    Thanks! I saw the first one, but (price aside, we can always work on that...) there were not enough units.

    The second I hadn't seen, but while they are not bad, the mauve is a deal breaker. Those are vintage 1988, the same time Marchon was giving them away (complete w/fiber optics!) for a 200 piece order. Again, I have nothing against them, but to reface them in something you could put in public would make it cost prohibitive.

    It's funny how one of the ads said no reasonable offer refused, and there were two refused offers on the board!

    I have received a nice offer on a complete office (thanks Ali) from Canada, but I'm afraid getting them across the boarder may be an issue. I usually rent a one-way Penske truck, and they frown on crossing international borders.

    On the other hand, I'd love to cross the border from SC into Ga, and/or Fla.,...somewhere close to a beach.

    Thanks for looking and keep your eyes open!

    In case you dont find anything used you like, they're one of the best value options new.

    Oh, WOW! You mean I can now sell you our old cinderblock displays? And the little mobile home frame holders?

    I think I'd rather talk to the guys over at the "What are you carrying" thread, and have them shoot some holes in a piece of plywood. (Might even look better!)

    Our office has two custom built rotational oak wood free-standing frame stands. We are asking $300 each or $500 for both, OBO.
