A friend of mine called and asked if I was interested in buying some of this ABS. It is stained with oil and grease from being used in a factory. Does anyone have an idea of the value? Also, what would I use it for?

sizes (1 ea.) 18" x 72 "x 2"
(1 ea.) 28" x 60" x 2"
(4 ea.) 21" x 11" x 1/2"

Ron... It's only valuable if you have a use for it! If it was give-away pricing, you could gamble that a use would appear some day.

I've used ABS to make PCB enclosures in the past. It's hard to get a good finish on it.

I would love to have the 2" material in stock. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for the lot though.

If you couldn't clean it with a powerwasher then i would think you could shave .1" off and get rid of it that way?

I find a lot of nice material at the local Habitat for Humanity shop.

Cabinet grade plywood and red oak shows up from time to time / plus a lot of Corian that cleans up well.
