Finally found my new (to me) KRL!

[Tapp Daddy]

After many hours/days of surfing Craigslist, I finally found my box. I passed on many a red and green one to finally find this. Some may not love the color combo, but as soon as I saw it, I wanted it. It's not flashy, but just different enough to stand out a bit. Got a decent deal, it's in perfect shape, and it's a far cry from the Costo box I'd been using for the past 3 1/2 years. I'm glad I found this forum before I bought, and used a lot of the info to come to the conclusion that the KRL722 would fit the bill perfectly for me.

[senor fozz]

Of course the million $ question is didyou pay less than two grand if so I say you dun good

 

[glenmore]

That's usually what it is, the magic combination of color, condition, price and proximity!

Purdy!

 

[amlv20]

[BajaBound]

Congrats! That's cool color combo and different too.

 

[mrtoolfool]

Nice box and I think the colors are great.......Congrats

EVERYONE has a red box...almost everyone anyway.

Very nice. I see that's the Superbowl XLVIII Champion Edition. I like it!

 

[zkling]

I personally like it, simple elegance without those IMHO extremely gaudy caster centers that some of the newer boxes have. Just a very clean look black with a bit of color in the trim. Good size and looks to be in nice condition. Enjoy it

 

[Hopalong604]

You can't ho wrong with any krl's. GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fatfillup]

Now if you can only get Richard Sherman to sign it


Nice box, you will be pleased with it.


Hope the Seahawks do well in the Bowl. Manning is tough to beat.

Very cool box. Nice job.

 

[Alexbn921]

Nice find. Gotta love craigslist.

I need to watch CL more diligently. That's a heck of a box, kinda what I want.

 

[fatfillup]

To find a box on CL, you need to watch several times a day in a metro area. If its a deal, it won't last long. If its on Baltimore CL,,,,,,,,,,don't bother,,,,,,,,,,,,,I already bought it

Seriously, deals can be had, but you have to be diligent and have cash in hand and be quick. The other method that works is to take note of the boxes that have been on a long time. After a while, folks realize their dream price ain't gonna happen and are open to an offer. I have emailed folks that I buy and sell boxes and to call me if they can't get it sold. Sometimes you will get a call a month later.

Awesome man! Go hawks!!!!!!

 

[Tapp Daddy]

$2000 even. Not a scratch on it. It was 6 hours away, but happened to have a buddy working in Spokane so I got free delivery as well! I did have to personalize it with the Hawk logo! Manning will definetely be tough.

I bought my KRA off CL. Got a deal for $1400 with a MG325 thrown in, though I sacrificed and got a color that wasn't my favorite but it was a good deal. Guy just needed money.

 

[Tapp Daddy]

CL is such a good thing... but could be a huge pain in the a$$! I thought this deal was gonna fall through, but ended up working out fine. I almost pulled the trigger on many a KRA, but after many reviews and posts, I decided the KRL would work as (hopefully) the last box I buy. I saw many a Matco and others for sale, but wanted a 40-ish inch top as I use it as a work bench quite often. I had my tape measure out so many times trying to justify a taller box, but in the end, I knew what I wanted and held out until I found it.

Is that the KRL withe the matte black paint?

Nah, the glossy black. Show finger prints like a mother, but oh well, price was right and condition was great!

 

[Camtwo69]

very nice !

 

[carterbeauford]

jealous, everyone wants $5K for one around here.

 

[djl95]

dang those krl722 boxes are high on craigslist here. cheapest ive found they asked $3500 for it

 

[Tapp Daddy]

Keep lookin' and don't be in a hurry. Most of them I saw locally were all in the 3-4000 as well. I expanded my search to Portland and Spokane. Figured I'd be willing to drive for the right deal. Got lucky on this one as the ad was close to a month old, so I was surprised (and sceptical) that it was still available. I was thinking there must be something wrong with it. Had my buddy give it a good once over and she was on her way home to me. Good deals are out there, as well as crazy-asses thinking their stuff is gold!

 

[devoncoolman]

Sweet color. I like it. Mines black with silver trim.

 

[Nephronracing]

Congrats on the KRL. I like the color. I'm not a professional mechanic and as much as I want one, I can never bring myself to drop the coin for one. Maybe someday…
