Cornwell roller cab value?

[dumper]

Am rather familiar with SO and MAC roller cabs from all the info here, but what about Cornwell? This came up on my local CL and is the same width as a 2-bay box. How does Cornwell compare with the others as far as quality and warranty issues? Thanks. http://bend.craigslist.org/tls/2449120702.html

That's the newer style of tool cart. It's not a bottom unit because of the lid.
Although list is $2k, they go for a lot less off the truck. I think no more than half of list is fair.

when those boxes first came out like 6 years ago they were way less money. the one listed above was around 1k. the other version they sell that is missing the 2 bottom drawer area was 600 but often on sale for 500 range. they both doubled in price.

The CTBMM800BK came out last year, it is wider and deeper than the previous models.

Not the same carts. You're talking about these which are significantly smaller:

Warranty???? I think it is 1 year on boxes and parts for Cornwell.
I have the older 36" version 8 drawer. OK quality. About like Snap-On kra and 1990's midgread Craftsman. In other words ok quality, nothing special. Now I would have to see it in person, I can not imagine if this is built with the same thickness metal and overall heft that it would be very durable in a bigger version. Assuming the same, I would say a much better value then a KRA box/cart if buying new. That box is overpriced used. I would think $600ish would be a more realistic selling price.

I have the CTBMM800BK currently, I had the one pictured by the OP before this, and i can attest that the new one is much better quality. and very spacious. It is hardly a toolcart, it is huge!

I have a cornwell double bank box and a matching cart. both in yellow as well.
All I can say from experience....good luck with any warranty issues.
The ONLY thing they ever replaced was the plastic emblems that literally fell off one day.
I have 5 tracks that have issues and the cart has multiple spot welds that have broken loose.
