As title says, I'm looking for a pair of 24" kitchen base cabinets...nothing special, likely something that's been removed from a kitchen remodeling project and being tossed out. Color, wood type, etc. doesn't matter...but I'm not looking for rotten garbage you plan to burn in your fire pit either. Any leads are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This is the place you're looking for....

Habitat for Humanity nonprofit home improvement stores.

The stuff I've purchased from the Ann Arbor store was a great deal!
Mostly used things like the cabinets you're looking for - cheap!

This. I bought a couple uppers for cheap from the Pontiac HFH store.

Well, after a stop at HFH on Saturday morning I'm still out of luck. They had a few cabinets what would work for my purposes, but they were part of a large set and they weren't willing to break up the set. I'm not sure who'd want all of them, but I wish them luck as they were nothing special.

Thanks again to everyone for the input/help/suggestions, but I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy a pair of new/unfinished cabinets from Lowe's and be done with it. I've already pissed away too much time.
 
Sorry to hear HFH wasn't more helpful & flexible, normally they are.

Can you check any of the other HFH stores? Did you ask for the manager
to see if they would sell just the cabinets you wanted?

I can understand keeping sets together, I can also understand selling
what the customer wants!

If nothing else, offer them what you'd like to pay for just the two cabinets,
and either sell the rest, donate it back, give it away or throw it in the trash.

The whole trip was a clusterf*ck to be honest. The website said they were open at 8:30 on Saturday...turns out they open at 10:00...so I had to piss away 90 minutes until they opened because I wasn't going home (20 minutes one way) and then coming back later. I'm a morning person, so I wanted to hit it right away and figured the selection would be best then too.

When I asked the guy working the floor about separating them, he was very firm that there was no way. And I'm guessing they want far too much for them all (there was a lot)...hence my thoughts on just buying new and moving along.

The other part is my time...I've already wasted too much. I'm not driving all over town and pissing away another half a day or more looking for a pair of cheap cabinets.

Again, I appreciate the help/heads up...it just doesn't appear it's going to work out in this case.

That sucks, I work in Pontiac, so I just stopped in.

Now as I think about it, I wanted two uppers. One was a stand alone, the other came with a "matching" base. It didn't actually match, it was close but the door features were different between the base and upper. They insisted that I had to buy the lower since the upper I wanted and the lower were donated as a set..... Did I mention they were not identical?

I ended up buying all three pieces, a 30" upper, a 36" upper and a 36" base. I had a Malibu at the time, and somehow fit the two uppers in the car (barely), and said I'd come back for the base. The manger said I had 3 days to come back for the base, which I didn't want, or I'd forget my purchase. That was Feb 2016..... I may be past the 4 day point.
Total cost $60 for the 3 piece set.
Sometimes it works sometimes it's not worth the hassle.

I used my cabinets to make storage under my table saw and made a cabinet for my compound sliding mitre saw. Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. I now have a monolithic cube under the table saw to store the other saw, Sanders, nailers, router, etc, and can move it around the garage with ease.
