Equipment for Sale

July 14th, 2008
I
have a sample case for sale. It’s smaller than others I have seen; it’s
about 18 ½ inches wide, 8 inches deep and 20 inches tall. There are 13 trays
and each one has 9 slots for frames. I’m just guessing but, I would say that
when it’s empty it weighs between 20 and 30 lbs. It’s nice for someone who
doesn’t need to cart around a full sized sample case.
The case itself is opened from the top with a zipper. There is also a zippered
pocket to hold catalogs and other paperwork. There are two handles that fasten
together, allowing someone to carry it like a suitcase. There is hardware for a
shoulder strap but it doesn’t come with one.
This case is used but very gently, there are some loose threads on some on the
trays and it is a little dusty. Otherwise it’s in pretty good shape.
I’d like $50 for it. I live in Seattle and I can work with you on pick up /
delivery if you’re not too far away.
If you’re interested please email me at silas.t@gmail.com
