VINTAGE & RARE SNAP ON TOOLS 4-PIECE TOOL BOX SET - $600

 

[ineedtools]

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/tls/4510371409.html

Kennedy 526 top box (8 drawer) with matching 2 drawer intermediate chest. I'd ****** it up myself, but I need another tool box like I need a hole in my head. If it's still there tomorrow evening I might not be able to help myself. For $35 this is a STEAL!

Is there anyone left in Detroit? I only ask because this should have been gone 15 minutes after being posted!

Older snap-on top box. Guy wants $500 for it. If I had money to spare, I'd probably try to talk him down on it. It looks nice.

Ok, I've got to chime in here, I'm not a moderator but this thread is rapidly going down hill.

The recent posts here have been far from any good deals except from what Garage Junky and rice rocket's post's. We really need to get back to posting smoking deals that are worth telling fellow members.

I know I've been guilty of doing the same thing and I think we all need to be more vigilant of only posting really good deals on Craigslist otherwise this thread could lose it's **Hot Deals** sticky status.

Thank You

Lyons MSS II SafetyLink 7 drawer cabinets. Same as Vidmar and Lista cabinets.

$350 each

5 available

I think these sell new for $1.5K+, typically these sell used for $500-$800.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/tls/4536725731.html


Again not a smoking deal but I know a lot people like these. If it's not a good deal, please tell me.

MacGee : Can you define the criteria for "smoking deals that are worth telling fellow members"?

 

[macgee]

1981 snap on tool boxes...all 3 for $500.00 Tools not included, All tools sold separately.

That side cabinet attached and the mini box above is also probably included. Also selling tools, make him an offer to throw in some tools in to sweeten the deal.

MacGee : Can you define the criteria for "smoking deals that are worth telling fellow members"?

Excellent question, IMHO: It's deals that are way below normal/typical craiglist prices for items that are in demand and things members are hunting for. Something that usually won't last the day because the deal is that good.

Post local deals that are way better than what has been sold on eBay (not including shipping price).

If you see a nice good quality well known band saw that typically sells on craigslist for $350 or more and you see it selling in good condition for $100, I would think that is worth mentioning.

If you see a used Snap-On tool chest selling for $1100 that can also be typically found used for $1100-1300 on any day of the week on craigslist then that is not a good deal worth posting but if you find a Snap-On three stacked set for $500 then I think that is worth mentioning.

If you see a nice Athol-Starrett, Chas Parker or Wilton bullet 4" vise going for half it's weight, then notify members.

I definitely understand that there can be huge swings in price for the same items because of it's location in the country. Right now living in the city of LA seems to be filled with very low prices but then when I look for items in Tampa, FL I can't believe how high the prices people are asking for absolute junk tools. So keep this in mind.

This is just in my opinion and other members should chime in as well.

This thread can be so useful to members just like the other **Hot Deals** threads if used correctly.

 

[PFSard]

This thread can be so useful to members just like the other **Hot Deals** threads if used correctly.

Very well said. It's tough for me to elucidate criteria. Thanx for taking the time to respond.

E.g., yesterday I purchased for $80 two Huot Dispenser Cabinets. (1) Number Drills (2) Letter Drills.

http://www.huot.com/products/product-category/original-dispenser-cabinets/

(1) Each slot contained quite a few number drills.
(2) Re-purposed for taps. A lot of taps.

Was that a smoking deal? To me, yes. I had been looking for (1) for a while. I didn't really need (2), but it was both or none. But I've seen better purchases on the Estate Sale thread.

If I weren't interested in these, I probably would have posted it in the Hot Deals section. The woman selling had not selected a good title (Taps with drawers), so it probably would have missed a lot of people's radar.

It's a tough call on defining a Hot Deal. I just skim through most of these Hot Deals posts anyway (as well as the other threads), looking for nuggets.

 

[macgee]

Here's another deal but in Tampa. They look dirty and maybe in bad shape but if all they need is cleaning up then I think it's a good deal. Tell me if these are not good deals.

MATCO & SNAP-ON TOOL BOX & ROLL AROUND SET - $225 EACH SET (HUDSON )
http://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/tls/4525603736.html

PFSard: You are correct, the Huot boxes and bits included is a smoking deal for $80 for both. I'm betting the bits are good USA made ones.

 

[brianpgriset]

Syncrowave 180SD for $850, appears to be in good shape. Very good price for this area.

Craftsman Professional 14" Bandsaw: $200 in N. Tampa area

This is a good 14" bandsaw, same as the Rikon with 8" re-cut. While $200 isn't a smoking deal for most area's, for the Tampa area it's a good deal.

That's a really nice tool chest although the rust is a concern. Good thing it's three states away otherwise I would have to buy it.

 

[930dreamer]

This lathe is going to the scrap yard if no buyer, CL!

That thing is a beast. He probably could get a good amount from the scrap for 11,000 lbs. I wonder how much that would be?

This looks like a deal in the KC area. 14" Jet bandsaw.

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/tls/4544551767.html

 

[Galaxie]

He'd get about half of that $2500 he is asking.

 

[macgee]

This Vise, while a modern one is selling for about half it's weight (79 lbs). I think it's an older mdl #480. It's big

If it's one of the american made 60,000 psi made versions, then it's a good deal for $45.

I have up for sale or trade a Heavy-duty Industrial tool chest.
Measurements of the tool chest are 28"x28" x 36" tall,not including wheel height.
It has 7 heavy duty drawers for storing tools or whatever.
The first 6 drawers are 3" deep and the bottom is 5" deep.
Each drawer has a set of 4 roller bearings on each side. Riding on a smooth gliding track.
Asking $300.00
Look at pictures please!!
Was light gray and I painted it navy blue. Sorry if thats not your color,but it could be repainted.
If interested leave a email with a name, phone number and a good time to call.
Thank you for looking !!

 

[macgee]

That is definitely a Lista but he just raised the price to $350. If you could get it for $250-300 then that would be a good deal depending on how good the paint job is.

Powermatic 54A Deluxe Jointer $300 in San Gabriel Valley/LA

6", 1 phase, 1 HP, 115/230V. Used but in good condition. Lists $1209.00. 339 lbs.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/tls/4549074956.html

This is a solid jointer with a nice long bed (66"), longer than most. I know you can find cheaper old school jointers but this is one of the good new ones. It's still the current model, Woodcraft is selling it for $1K. I think $300 isn't bad.

It will need some naval jelly.
