While picking up commodities this morning I noticed a few tables with misc. items on them for sale. This FL-400S was a great deal for $1.00.

Its all in fun. Exceptional deal though. I would have bought all they had. I am giving the fl400s a try this winter for my short 5w30 PYB OCI.
 
I've used that exact filter for 12 years and 150k miles. Always works and has pretty much been $4 for that entire time.

Me and my disabled friend get commodities once a month from our church. They usually sell misc. items like, clothes, linens, shoes, etc. I guess someone didn't need the oil filter and I got lucky.

Now that's a good one here! And we all know BOF agrees wholeheartedly.

I went to a pawn shop a few years back and they had a small area just for oil filters. They were mostly budget filters, but heck, the prices sure beat WM. I would just be worried about their age and how they were stored. ie moisture.
 
Several years ago, I had some Quaker State oil filters that I no longer needed because I got rid of the car that they were used on. My company had a bulletin board area and I put some masking tape on the filter boxes that had written "Free to a good home" on them and I set them by the bulletin board. I was on my way to my office and I put some belongings on my desk, then went back to that area to use the restroom, probably taking no longer than 45 seconds. In that small amount of time, they were gone, probably thanks to the easily recognizeable numbers that are the same as Fram. Hopefully, somebody could use them on their vehicle instead of flipping them for some instant cash.
