Thread: Metal casket - WTB

Tweet

Anyone have a metal casket they want to get rid of? I'm thinking I need a big ice bucket for this year's party...

Im not ready to part with mine but there is a guy in Philly (chinatown area) who sells them, you can get his information in Craigslist.org

Just a suggestion. Last year I bought two freight damaged metal caskets from a scrap iron dealer. Once they get a little banged up they just scrap em. This guy had about 10 in various stages of damage. One of mine had minor dents and one handle flattened out, but this just gives it a "dug up" look. It is white and even has the intrior in good conditin. I built a couch out of the other one. Anyway, my point is you might check the metal scrap yards in your area.

Clu, that's a FABULOUS idea!!! There's one right up the road from here... THANKS!!

Hi there! There is a guy who has been selling them on ebay for 299.00 which isnt too bad...problem is the freight may cost a bit unless you can come to Texas! He has all the details on freight on his listing...if you cant find him now keep checking, he always comes back on with more I got mine off craigslist but i think that was just an extreeeeemely lucky find, talk about looking at the right place at the right time, a steal "to die for" at 200 dollars and a half hour drive, but keep looking! If anyone is interested and has 5,000 bucks there is a hearse up there too(houston craigslist)...we would have bought that if we had a disposable 5 grand lying around. Look at craigslist in your area and in newspapers and on ebay of course...your bound to catch one eventually. Good luck!

Is that the guys who's selling the fiberglass ones? Might work, but I'd almost be afraid the bottom would fall out from the weight of all teh ice and soda.
