thats mine. Its a nice solid USA made box, Im not getting any hits on it? Am I overpriced or does the size of the box kill the usefullness, I used it for drill bits and such next to drill press

No. I like the casters set up.

But I might add OBO to maybe gain some interest.

 

[rusty65]

To high? I almost think it's to low so people may think it is a lemon since the low price.

 

[warmpancakes]

I bumped the price up and added OBO

Your price seems on the low side to me, compared to what I see here in NC.....$100 bucks gets you the cheapest, smallest, Craftsman, and usually in poor shape!

I think it's a great deal, shocked you're not getting calls! Good luck!

Honestly, that looks like a pretty cheap box, does it use lock bars? I'm not really in the box market, I'm very storage postive at the moument so take my opinion with a grain of salt, $50.

Since you asked for advice: PICS! Good pics sell product. Pics with detail showing its not a piece of junk. Show the thickness of the metal, the slides, etc.. Pics that show you care about this thing more than the average schmo...and in this case, more than the average CL lister.

I suspect you have a solid box there since you are a GJ member, but I cannot tell for sure because the detail isnt offered.

turn the picture so its upright

I think the size of the box kills interest, well the depth primarily.

Trouble is you are competing with HF. Also alot of out of work folks in Detroit.

Thanks for the help guys I made the changes

22 wide X 12 deep is a pretty small box, so most people looking for a tolls box won't bite. add some key words for crafting and scrap-booking and note that it can be lifted out of the frame and nicer casters put on if they want it in the house...

 

[dumper]

do the casters shown fit directly on the box? It would definately look better that way (stock). You could always throw in the frame if the buyer is interested. Mention in your add that it is a great box for storing drill bits, nuts, bolts, etc.

not a bad price, but I'm starting to wonder the same about mine...

I have sold a couple boxes like that. Your price seems fair to me. I like to point out all the good points of the box. Do the drawers open and shut smoothly? Do the casters roll around easy? Maybe play up the small size of the box, that it doesnt take up as much floor space as a strandard 26" or larger unit does. There are a bunch of people that just want a tool box to hold a few things.
Some advice I have for you is to warn them of the size before they come to look at it. Almost every idiot that came to look at my boxes got there and said "I didnt think it was going to be this small" I did put the dimensions in the listing, I started telling them to get out a tape measure and check it out before they came over. This may not help you sell it but you wont waste your time dealing with people who dont bother to read and visualize the dimensions. Good luck.

Im not busting on you for swearing because trust me i have one foul mouth, so this isnt any high horse bs, but when i see ads on CL with profanity i just see it as unintelligent and someone i dont want to do business with.

Thats cool, your entitled to your opinion. After having it listed for 2 months (under a different title) I thought it might be an attention getter, better response. It's been up like that for a week and no response's, hence the feeling it may be overpriced

Sand and paint your roller setup. Appearance sells.

Also change the price from $95 to $100 O.B.O.

If it aint selling, its overpriced

I don't think you have the word 'toolbox' in your ad, that's what I've been searching on for a ~40" tall lower box...

+1. That or 'tool chest'. At the very least put the word 'tool' in the title.

I would remove this as well: " great box for drill bits or mill/lathe tools ". No need to emphasize the small size.

That Craftsman Commercial box is TOO DAMN COOL!
