    Whoa. People are dumb enough to pay that for half of a pallet when they could drive around back of the same building get and get the whole thing for free? :headbang:

    No wonder the younger generations have serious financial problems!

    Just for fun, you should date that thing on the bottom with a pen and see it its still there on your next trip.

    Maybe enough of a demand from the diy/up-cycle markets looking for clean pallets?

    Probably for people looking for chemical and oil free pallets. I look out the window across the street from work and bam. :makeitrain"

    I saw a show on tv where they used old pallets and used the boards to go overtop of wood paneling in a house. When they got finished it was amazing. I want to do it in my house in the old part that still has the wood paneling.

    That stack probably isn't getting any smaller either.

    Funny I see this right now, I was at Best Buy today and I spied some pallets at back of the Sherwin-Williams paint store, drove over to check em out, went inside and ask about them, sure you can have them.
    I got some short ones and stuffed them in the back of the Jeep, I will have to go back with the trailer because they had 8 footers out there.
    Well then I got to thinking Harbor Freight is just down the road, I will drive around back and see, sure enough there's about 25 back there in short stacks.
    The store is only 10 minutes one way
    I will get those too, if I don't stack on them, I will use them for kindling or make something with them. Thinking about making some mini sheds

    I used to sell for $5 a pallet what was I thinking! This is earth shattering! My biggest competitor was Home Depot! Lord I am in the wrong business I need to open a Home Depot! :rofl: :lol:

    What's ironic is I get some from Home Depot when I ask. They always support yes.
