good or bad price

[thejudges69]

I'm going today to look at this used snap-on box, I'm thinking the price is a little high for the age being it's 8 years old. I'm wanting to know if this is a good price or is it to high?

Looks nice. It's a quality box for sure,don't know if that would cost $4000 or more new? I bet you can talk them down. Seems like the different colored snap on sets bring more money. Go to the snap on site and see what a new one costs.

I don't know that i can compare a new one to this, being the price probably went up in 8 years. Also don't know the model number, anyone know the set numbers.

What do you really want a new box or a used? I know of a super cool Vulcan matco on ft.wayne Craig's list. It's old but a super cool old box. They started high but the price has been dropping lately. http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/tls/2994562190.html
Wish it was mine!

I really want a new box, I had emailed these people before I found the extreme boxes and they just texted me this morning. I thought I'd go look at it an see. The biggest thing I want is a deeper box and I don't think this one is much deeper then I have.

Pretty positive the bottom is a KRA4813 and 4 grand is way high.

I don't know, paint that box red and it's a dead ringer for my Waterloo Traxx box, which costs about half that brand new. Be surprised if Waterloo didn't make that box for Snap On.

He wants 2500 for the set I'm seeing bottoms selling for around a grand and tops selling alone for around 500

i just bought that box in the long draw version for 1200.00 in red.it is not made by waterloo /it is made by snap on,it is a stronger box.2500 is a little much ,i would offer him 1800.

Man, I would buy that set in a heartbeat if it was near me. I want an old Mac or Matco of that style to use for my lathe and mill tooling.

Yes steevo I have been looking at the picture off and on for 6 months. I don't have the room or need but it's a great box. If it was like 3 or$400 I don't think I could control myself.

Seems high to me. I bought a 2005 krl1022 2 weeks ago for $2000.

 

[thejudges69]

I went and looked at it, the box is in great shape but really not much more then I have. I thought the box was taller and deeper. I told the seller though that these boxes are going for 15-1800 right now

Thats CRAZY high! First, that box is only slightly better than typical Craftsman stuff. Seriously, i tried to sell a set like that. Even listed it here for like $1,300 and no takers. After a few months finally sold it for $1,200 (top and bottom and the top was less than a year old). Not too bad because I only paid $800 with two sideboxes and two hang on tool holders. But in truth, with that box you are buying a name....not a quality toolbox. It was pretty junky considering the retail price. You would be an idiot to pay even $1,500. I see boxes like that pop up for under $1,000

I would agree, I really thought it was way to much as well. I went there prepared to buy if it was what I wanted but no where near that price.
