Second, set your budget since the used file cabinets does not have as much selection as you have if you buy the new cabinet. Third, visit your local thrift stores or read the classified in the newspapers and online. You can even place a “want to buy” (free) advertisement.
Finally, of course, prepare yourself to do some minor repairs to the surface of the used file cabinets you bought since there may be some scratches or dents. If you like wheels, you can easily add those on since they can be bought at any hardware store. The most important thing is acknowledging the retail price of the type of file cabinet you want, so that you can tell if the used price is a good deal.
