Well he says outright that its been repainted.
Hammergodthor: so are you saying if its legit its a good deal? Better than a snapon krl661 for 1200? Or are the snapon's really worth that much more
Any large box less than about $1000 around here sells pretty quick. We have a local Craigslist troll who snatches the super cheap ones and re-lists them for $500 more and gets it all day long, up to about $1200. The more expensive stuff sits longer, even if it is a super good deal.
Personally, I think many Snap-On boxes are over valued due to SO having more name recognition. I have a smaller Matco box about the same vintage as this one and its a total tank. Most of those older boxes are built heavier than todays boxes. It just depends on what you want. If it was in my neighborhood and I was in the market, I'd at least go look at it, it seems like a fair price (to me). Make sure its got the serial number on it though. If he painted over it, or its gone, I would definitely pass. Matco will cover (warranty) their slides, wheels and locks for life, but they need the serial number to do anything. (Fine print: check with your local dealer for details, quality of service may differ by location/rep.) Good luck.
