Just committed to purchase a roll cab on evilBay with the condition that the serial came up clean. Can someone check this for me?

There are threads on this topic but referring to Snap-on boxes. If I remember correctly, which I may not be, there isn't a way for a prospective buyer to get that info.

EDIT--

Now, this doesn't refer to MATCO, but the result may be the same:
I'm in the process of trying to purchase a used KRL1022. I called Snap On to follow up on two serial numbers. One seller claims it's paid for, other one admits to being upside down, but his dealer is willing to take the cash price we agreed on (seller would pinky swear he will go back to the dealer with the cash I hand him).

Snap On tells me they can't look up any info based on serial number, and even if they could, they can't divulge anything since the credit acct doesn't belong to me.


I'm kinda frustrated here. In my limited view, if they don't want to tell me a box is stolen or not paid for, then all I have to go on is the sellers word (and coming from a CL seller, this isn't worth much). I'm not really inclined to do much more to protect a dealer or snap on. It seems like they rely more on the contract with the original purchaser and could care less where the box ends up.
