BidProwl Summary
Two metal bookshelves, each 3 feet wide by 1 foot deep by 7 feet tall, with adjustable shelves in salvage/damaged condition. Resellers buy these for parts inventory, refurb and resale to offices or students, or breakup for scrap metal value. Inspect for structural damage, rust, missing or bent shelf supports, and verify the adjustable mechanism works before committing, since pickup is appointment-only with tight 9/1 to 9/15 removal window and you handle all labor and transport.
