looking for a "you ****" old matco box

[jniolon]

a craigslist find... first ad was 200 bucks.... by the end of the weekend he was at 100.00.... picked it up that monday... had no handles, lock or badge... I've located the handles on epay for 9.98 for 21 handles and still searching for the badge... lined the drawers with Wally world automotive replacement carpet...cheaper than drawer liner and feels good too !

tag says MB510 Flagship Chest... serial # 510A02115

not crazy for the orange but it's fresh pro paint and it will do.

so is this worth a 'you ****' ?

ball bearing?

not a bad deal!

 

[jniolon]

no on the BB.... stricttly friction slides but it's a home box that will get little use... mostly storage for misc small stuff that is just hanging/laying around gathering dust and getting in the way

it's just another to add to this group

No. Soliciting a you **** automatically disqualifies you from receiving the coveted "You ****" award.

You cannot solicit your own suckage.

Ahh, yep you deserve a "you ****"

It would look so much better out in my barn though. Maybe it would make a good art piece in my bedroom, who knows. I like it man.

sorry Dave... someone already took them... for lots of money

 

[jniolon]

awww come on Chad...

even finding the 21 original gen-u-wine Matco handles for 9.98 ought to get me a you ****... much less the box for 100 bucks... guess it should have come with the drawers loaded with period correct Matco stuff... bet that would have gotten it wouldn't it ???

Simple is rule is that you can't ask for it...

You can ask for an "Amen" that it was a good deal, but you can't ask for a "you ****".

well... an AMEN is better than nothing..... besides I got the box
but technically.... I didn't actually ASK for a 'you ****' I merely asked if it was worth one... so in B.Clinton's thinking/reasoning... ?????

I agree, no "you ****" because you asked for it.

I sure do like your tool collection. I don't think I have ever seen another person with more Proto tools than you.

 

[fordbroncodave]

that would make a nice coffee table or foot rest

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

You ****!!! Very nice box.

 

[Rocket1]

I really like that box and great job on finding the handles.

BTW while you say you didn't ask for a "you ****" your title to the thread says "looking for a 'you ****' old matco box"... I think that qualifies as asking for it

Nice job

 

[mjozefow]

You ****. See sig.

 

[Mickey O]

You ****, I will look into the "deal" later and get back to you.

 

[arkangel06]

Good deal but theres no you **** awarded.

 

[zx9rgreen]

Nice...I have seen that box on Bhams' Craigslist for a while now, I believe.

You ****!
