Well, he knows what he has--and wants to keep it. The ad was just to satisfy his wife who told him he had too many tools.LOL! I came across this listing on Craigslist a few minutes ago and was about to post it to this thread. And here it is, already posted 7 years ago.Can't say I'm surprised he still has it.
The rage is some kitchen designs is to use a workbench like this as an island. Those folks that can afford that don't care what it costs/what its worth/ or how it takes it out of the hands of a woodworker looking for an affordable bench.It seems as though these dreamers are EVERYWHERE. I just came across another ad on facebook marketplace listing an antique carpenter's bench for sale. He wants $3,500 for it, and the description in the ad appears below the photo. For reference, I bought a similar work bench with two original vises mounted on it (but no base) for $50 several years ago.
Circa 1880-1910 Maple Carpenter's workbench. Unit has a dropped down small tool area running the entire length with angled "pick-up" pieces at each end. Bench dog holes run the length of the work top. The all-wood vice works perfectly and is a marvel of design complete with dovetail construction. Truly a conversation piece. Just finished restoration. Could be used as a kitchen island, wine tasting table, foyer (needs a large room) table, office entry designer piece, lake house feature piece or many other commercial building / restaurant / winery / brew house designer uses as well as just a workbench. Table is 7' long - 29" wide and 34" high. Extremely stable with no loose joints. I will not entertain low-ball offers. I can be contacted at 5-eight-five-two-3-0-five-thousand.
Anybody interested in a fake Snap-on box for $2,500?
No clue what that's worth, but in all fairness just because you got a great deal on one once, doesn't affect its value.It seems as though these dreamers are EVERYWHERE.

You have to pay for patina like that!Probably 2 extra zeros in his price.
Way too high. Nice bench though.
Not really that far off. Those machines together might bring that much if they were in good condition. If they are frozen, then it is dreaming. Machine ways get rusted and difficult to bring back, but after one year, they might be OK.Fine machines for a steal of a deal
I tried to sell them, Hon!This is what happens when you legalize pot in California
That did cross my mind
What?
I know some guys here are BMW savvy, this one's for you:

Selling my 2014 BMW 550i. The engine (N63TU 4.4L V8 Twin-Turbo) has blown and needs to be replaced. Everything else on this car is in excellent condition. Thousands already invested in recent...chicago.craigslist.org
The link just takes me to the FB marketplace page with a listing of tools for sale, not to a specific ad. And nothing that is unusual or interesting. Links often don't last long and a screen shot or description is better.
Add was deleted , go figure. It was basically a couple of HF tool boxes with maybe a $1-2k worth of tools for $30k. It got a lot comments in reference the sellers level of drug usage.
Y'reckon maybe the original owner noticed his boxes that SHOULD be in his garage on FBMP?
