a friend called them the other day asking about used shelves or seconds,
they told him" i crush them it makes me more money"
i hav eheard of colleges/ nfp's getting shelf and brick seconds or freebies
but when businesses do that they often can right it off as a donation.
Usually folks want proof that you are a not for profit organization before
they give you stuff like that.

on the up side, although they seem to cost alot, if you take care of them
they'll last so long.

good luck

In 1993 I bought 30 shelves at $60.00 each.

I got over 5,000 heavy duty bricks from Zedmark for my university for the
price of shipping. Over 4,000 of the bricks were seconds. For what it is
worth. Their address and phone is:

Zedmark
PO Box 446
Dover, Ohio 44622
216-343-8821

Good luck

I have been using my New Castle silicon carbide 1" thick 12"X24" shelves
since 1971 and they are like new. Any broken were my fault. I had to order
them 50 at an order then and split it with another potter and they arrived
perfect.
