Old kitchen cabinets look really dated and battered. I have a couple of them that sure need treatment. But instead of spending thousands of dollars buying a new cabinet, I know of some really cool places where you can get used kitchen cabinets for sale.

You may not be buying a new home, but you may want to renovate that old lake house. My advice would be to look for some used kitchen cabinets for sale that you can get for a fraction of the price of new cabinets.

So where can I find used kitchen cabinets for sale that aren’t heavy on my wallet? Well I’ll tell you the top 3 places I personally use to find these used cabinets.

Salvage yard – All those cabinets that people throw away go to a salvage yard near their home. So you can get really high priced cabinets for a fraction of the original cost. What’s more, if you can find these used cabinets for sale at a salvage yard near your home, you can easily install them in place without having to do any unnecessary renovations. The only downside is that you will have to keep visiting the salvage yard because they keep getting new inventory and you may not find some good but used kitchen cabinets for sale the first time you visit that location.

Craigslist – Yes, you heard right! That same place where people post ads. People keep their old cabinets in the garage or storage room instead of paying to have the old things removed. Rather, they place ads on Craigslist and advertise them for sale. What’s even better is that they are local listings; You can find excellent used kitchen cabinets for sale in your locality. And even if they aren’t available locally, you can always have them shipped to you. It will still be cheaper than having to buy a new cabinet.

Online sites – Online sites are actually my favorite place to find old and used kitchen cabinets for sale. The prices are the lowest of all the other options and some of these online sites even offer free shipping. In addition, you can choose from a large variety from the comfort of your home and order them with the click of a button. And just to mention it again, you get a great deal with the maximum possible savings.
