Not worth much, it must be hard to keep the tools in the drawers.

I have sold a lot of tool boxes. If I was selling it I would clean it real good maybe give it a coat of wax, lube the drawer slides. If all the drawers work good and no major dents I would sell it for $1000. May not sell right away but eventually you will get it. If you want to make it go away quickly try $800. You may also try to seperate them. You can sometimes get better money that way.
my snap on dealer said he would clean it up and ask 2000 on his truck and cash 1500 i do need to clean it up and put a coat of wax .i have not seen any on ebay and the mac dealer will not come to our shop (on one owes him money)matco and cornwell are the same way the only one we can depend on is snap on

What am I missing? This is a 26" box. $1500-$2000 is the going price for used 56" Snap-On boxes in the KRL series...

I think I would start at $800. I would not break the set up unless somebody asked for the side or the middle. Otherwise I would see you getting hung with the middle. Personally I wouldn't jump at for more the $300, but I don't need the box, but I do like it (I'm a sucker for drop fronts). To be clear that is only 26" wide, not 33" right?

That is a $200-250 box. Its small, dated, and a very hard to use set up. If your dealer will give you 1500$ on trade take it and run because he is a sucker.
Some one could wait and get a much much larger box for 800-1500, one that you do not need a ladder to see the top of.

You know, if that's anywhere near the quality of the Mac box that a local pawn shop kept all their tools in, then I'd say it's definitely worth $300-$400, if it's in good shape (and honestly, probably worth a bit more).
$300 new/retail gets you a slightly-higher-than-low-end imported Craftsman box from Sears (I'm basing that on the two different Craftsman "towers" that I bought in the past, consisting of a 5-drawer bottom chest, 3-drawer middle chest and "8-drawer" top chest (of which 3 of those drawers are the small drawers that combine to run the full width).
The Mac tower here is going to definitely be heavier-gauge sheet metal, likely ball-bearing slides, and just in general a better box.
If I was shopping for that size of a box, I'd call $300 a good deal on that, in a heartbeat.
But $1500? Not a chance when you see what you can get used.
Heck, this guy is asking $1350 for this:

In case the link goes dead:
Craigslist said:
12 full-width drawers, 6 one-third-width drawers, and 1 "bulk" drawer that's one-third-width and three drawers high.
That Mac box is a 26" wide cabinet, and it might be 18"-20" deep.
It's not a $1500 box.
i know i payed 1200 for the top and bottom new the middle and side were added later maybe 500 for both.Thats why i am asking questions.I am not trading the box in I purchased a used snap on box from a co worker. 3x the room.i was guessing around when cleaned up.but there is no kelly blue book for tool boxes .
