Used Snap-on box pricing?

miketyler · May 19, 2012

I paid $2500 for my teal KRL-761 with a stainless top maybe 10 years ago. The box was like new then. Now I am looking for one for my son as a gift and found what I think is a pretty sweet deal on one of the newer style KRL boxes. Its a gloss black KRL722APC and looks to be nearly new.

Its an hour+ drive from me and seller is willing to accept $1000 cash this weekend. I would love to give this to my son as a gift. The box retails on the Snapon site for over $5k but I just need a reality check before I pull the trigger and commit. Box reportedly has a small scratch on the side. This seems like a crazy good deal but I havent been watching CL prices but for the last week or so.

$1000 sounds like a killer deal to me for the 722 model. I would jump on it.

balane · May 19, 2012

Holy smokes, at $1000 I'm really surprised you took the time to type out a post here because I would be in my truck heading there as soon as I could. As long as it's in good shape with no major issues beyond typical wear I think that's an amazing deal. I hope you get it.

I bought that exact box about a year ago for $1900 brand new, $1000 for that box, i'd already have picked it up.

anybodys new snap on sockets chrome chipping fast?

I'm bought a set of so deep chrome metric sockets abt a year ago. Was kinda noticing the other day that there starting to chip. My mac set shallow which iv had longer and used a lot more hasent at all? Just wondering cuz I paid 232 for em. Ya I know kind of a rip

miketyler · May 19, 2012

Good enough. I know these are probably considered luxury items with Harbor Freight and Sams selling much cheaper wanna-be boxes. I just wasnt sure if they had dropped to this level everyday. Will post up pics once we pick it up.

battlegraduate09 · May 19, 2012

no not every day pricing...... I cant even find a kra for 1000

SpiderGearsMan · May 19, 2012

if ....if you can find one ...buy it

mypov · May 19, 2012

definitely, quite typing/reading and go get that box!

miketyler · May 19, 2012

we're picking it up tomorrow. Son is going with me to pickup and doesnt know its for him yet.

My hunt for a local deal on a three bank continues....

battlegraduate09 · May 19, 2012

what is local to you ?

thats awesome that your doing that for your son. I hope one day im able to pass down my hobbies and time like that to a son of my own

miketyler · May 19, 2012

Local to me is probably central Tx to maybe southern Ok depending on the deal.

kblazer87 · May 19, 2012

If that was within driving distance of me, it would not be there for you to pick up tomorrow. That is a very good price for that model.

miketyler · May 19, 2012

Its not advertised for that price and he was busy this afternoon. We are on for pickup in the morning. Hopefully nothing changes between now and then

battlegraduate09 · May 19, 2012

Best of luck, hope it goes well

Jeeper · May 19, 2012

I paid 2k for a KRL722 about 1.5 years ago and i am in central Texas. Jump on that now. If you don't, let me know and I will buy it. :drool:

[/IMG]You are getting a good deal. I am in OKC and if I leave right this instance, I can race u there and beat ya to it. But being that there is no tools involved in the deal, I will pass. Let me know what your price range is on a 3 bank, and if you have a color preference. I have opportunities that the average joe does not have, and these deals are not advertised on cl for a reason. Example. 3 months ago I purchased a extreme green KRL 1023 for 2200. Sold it that same day to the guy who had been searching for one. I find those kind of deals all the time, so the extra 2 hrs to OKC might just be worth it for you if I can find what u are looking for.

chadster1 · May 19, 2012

I would buy it at that price

Syndicate · May 19, 2012

Sorry bout the crappy pics. Those were taken with my phone to make sure it would do for the guy who was wanting one. Usually I will take a 5 minute video and open all drawers, walk all the way around it, and explain the good and any bad with it. This one had an asking price of 2800. I paid 2200 cash and sold it to the guy that same evening after his shift. I know where there are some yellow boxes and a couple of the royal blue boxes. I have ways of negotiating the price down. This is how I make a living so I have to be good at doing this. PM me if you are seriously looking for a 3 bay and want to come see what OKC has to offer.

That's a ridiculously low price for that box.

miketyler · May 19, 2012

Thanks. My original plan was to upgrade to a 3bay and hand down my teal KRL to him. However I dont think my son was that crazy about teal so this deal is a better fit for us.

Was looking for a teal or other high impact color in a triple bank box. I have the stainless top on mine now and would sure like to find one to go on the new box.

miketyler · May 20, 2012

Picked it up awhile ago and dropped off at my sons house. The seller and his wife and brother were some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

It was a great father and son moment when I told him right there before we loaded it that it was for him. I forgot to mention his car and truck are both black so a win on all fronts.

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement here.

"Awesome Dad" award coming your way!

battlegraduate09 · May 20, 2012

That's pretty awesome indeed

balane · May 20, 2012

Awesome! Black Z28, Snap On box... I like your son already.

That was a great gesture and that box will be special to him for the rest of his life and hopefully, his son's (Or daugther's.) as well.

One of the best things about buying a snap-on box, is everytime you open it, you think: "dang, that's a well built box".

Congrats on the purchase.

miketyler · May 21, 2012

Yep, agreed. Expensive but quite possibly the last box he will ever need to buy. Thanks again all
