Why is this a craigslist fail? Because the guy posts this ad every week or so - he obviously never gets any offers, but week after week he posts the same ad over and over and over.

I think he has been trying this for at least a year. I don't care how much someone originally paid for something... it is only worth what the market will bear, and in Piedmont, South Dakota (population 2900) the market isn't too strong for $2500+ tool boxes no matter what special edition it might be.

I don't know what box is really worth, but clearly it is somewhere south of $2650.

I'd like to have that HD edition Tall Boy...

Is this supposed to mean "inexpensive?"

I saw a car on CL the other day that "had to be sold tonight." I'm always suspicious when someone is that desperate. I expect they fear the boys in blue will be knocking at their door shortly.

"Honey, I'm carefully composing an advertisement for things I have to sell here, when do you use an apostrophe?"

"I don't know, after every lone s."

"Okay, how do you spell cheap?"

"I think it's like sheep but with a c."

"Uh uh. Should I capitalize or punctuate anything?"

"I'm not sure you are supposed to do that on the internet."

"Thanks hun."

Another genius, who after great and lengthy deliberation, could only determine that the compressor he is trying to sell is "red."

The latest from the local gene pool... this guy has gotten upside down with some unnamed tool dealer on a nameless box (there was a picture, it's a generic box, not a major brand)... he thinks it was $3000 new, but he's paid down $1000 in interest, so now he only owes $3500 and you'll either have to pick up the same bloated payments, or just cash him out at $3500... Suuuuuure, dude, I'll buy your used box for more than I could buy the same thing new for, how could THAT possibly be a bad deal? :p

Snap On bench vise(make offer) (Freeport)
Date: 2010-02-03, 4:20PM EST
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

This Snap On tools vise was past down to me. It weights about 65 lbs and is one of the strongest vise brands around. It's in great working condition and is all original. It swings left to right and opens about 7 in. It's 9 in tall. It has two lock jaws on both sides to keep it in one spot when you want it to. It also has lock jaws for pipe clamping.

Thank you everybody for your intrest and your offers but these vises today made by Blue Point brand new are going for $1500 , unless somebody can tell me different. So please , if still interested make me a reasonable offer and its yours. Thanks
