Dont lose faith and dont forget ebay. Times are hard right now and I bought another huge cornwell box on ebay for $750. I dont have any pics of it, but its the same size as my yellow
bottom, but it has the hood with a lid and the locker going across at the bottom, Its an older unit and it had some transformers stickers that had to be removed and a good coat of turtle wax applied, but it turned out pretty damn sharp. I also had to drive about 5 hours round trip to pick it up.
BTW I picked that yellow one up on ebay also for $2800 brand spanking new. It had never had a tool in it. The guy won it in some contest at his dealership. In my experience there has always been more toolboxes cheaper on ebay and not many people are in the market for $1000+ toolboxes. The trick is finding one close enough to you and pouncing. I notice there is ALWAYS a good deal on a box in cali. I found a bunch of auctions for all THE MONSTER GARAGE tools a few months back. Most of the stuff was a steal, except it was local pick up only =(
Also just search for cornwell. mac or SO tends to bring up too many listings to sift through the ********. people think because its says SO they should get what they paid for it
Then again; as the old saying goes: "there is a sucker born every minute".... maybe they do get these high asking prices, I know I won't pay them, though!
