husky side box

[Deafautotech]

i saw the craigslist that seller sell the husky toolbox with husky side toolbox... the chest and bottom box are "cheap homeowner" but side box are older model husky side box... the seller are sell it together for 100 dollars BUT i am only interesting on Side box ONLY!!! the seller won't sell it seperate... so what can i do?

I dont have a room for junk chest/bottom box but i only want a side box because i has a menards 36' full wide drawers and i want a deeper drawer to hold my weirds tools in...

should i just get whole package and keep side box then give chest/bottom to my brother (his home toolbox are overfill of tools) OR forget it and move on...

the sears are sell craftsman side box for 300 dollars right now. that why i want find a used one for cheaper price...

If the seller wont split then your only option is to buy the whole box and try to sell it off to recoup some of your loss. For $100 buy it if you want it. You can make some of your money back (If not 100%) by selling off the box(S) you don't want. IMO its worth $100

For a $100, buy it and sell or pawn the rest. The side box looks to be the old school husky that was the same as the econimizer mac series that sold for 2 or 3 times as much as the husky. I'm not saying that is a super great pro box, but for a $100 you can't go wrong.

i do like the older husky box that similar with mac tool econimizer.. i am not planning to buy that side box to use at my work... i just want use it as my home garage to keep most hand tools in one spot than in multiple boxes...

i dont know how would pawn store will do if i am try to sell it to pawn store?? i has been go to pawn stores for tools but never try to sell anything to pawn store before???

Pawn shops offer 1/3 of the used value. So if they sell it for $60, they will offer you $20 for it. Pawn shops **** to sell to. They don't like buying from people that don't desperately NEED money.

I would try to re-sale it on craigslist or other local classifieds.

 

[Borrego]

What I see in the ad, seller ASKING $100 cash. That leaves the door wide open for a cheaper offer, possibly $80 or $90, especially if it has been listed for a couple of days.
Sometimes, if I am interested in something and do not want to pay this asking price, I ask the seller what his "Magic Price" is to make the item disappear.

the seller just made a list on craigslist few hours ago... i could ask the seller for the "MAGIC PRICE" in morning to see what would the seller say...

the locate is near as in my area as carmel and i live in castleton/Giest area....

 

[Deafautotech]

any idea or suggestion????

 

[crewchief888]

if it's a box that i could wanted/needed for $100 i'd grab it.

sell off or give away what you dont want.

i've given small box sets to a couple of friends in need.

makes me feel good sometimes i can help someone out

 

[diesel research]

Definitely out of poor taste.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

should i just get whole package and keep side box then give chest/bottom to my brother (his home toolbox are overfill of tools) OR forget it and move on...

Yes, if your brother would be happy with the top and bottom box, and you'd be happy with the sidebox, get it. $100 looks like a more than fair price for that setup IMO.

i was considering about grab it and give the chest/bottom to my brother as he do has tools but just overfill as he dont care... when i had to do side job at his garage, i had to search around and touch few tools around, it will fall down... it make me crazy...

yeah, i am still debate about it... i am wait for seller to response back and i will ask for what he will let it go at lowest price???

 

[whelenfan]

buy the whole set and relist the two that you don't want or even ask around your work, maybe someone there needs more home storage!

 

[Deafautotech]

is the husky side box supposed to be 15" wide X 18" deep X 28" height?? i thought it is more taller side box?? like sears craftsman side box as 15 3/4" W x 18" D x 35 1/4" H??


maybe it is not older husky side box??

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

Actually, it looks like a MAC sidebox to me. If it is, that's easily worth $100 by itself.

Hard to tell from the picture, though.

 

[wornoutoldman]

You'll make that $100 bucks back in what three hours of flat rate? Just buy it. Sell the other boxes to an apprentice in your shop for $100!

umm.. not for 3 hours.. it would be 5 hours of flat rate... i am not happy with labor rate from my boss.. BUT he has keep me busy...

 

[jon619]

Just buy the set and list the top/bottom for $80 on CL and sell it to whoever shows up. Done.

 

[mikester]

Wow, if I had the chance to buy that side box for $100 it would be in my garage already. I have one of those on each side of my combo. The first one was a pain in the **** to get because the HD stopped stocking them and it had to be special ordered. The second one that I got a year later cost almost $300 because its labeled Beach and it came from Canada. If youre real lucky its an early one with the ball bearing slides. Mine are both later issues and they have regular slide drawers but I keep light stuff in them. Buy it all, keep the side and sell the rest.

i am still wait on the seller as he dont communcation with me right now...

 

[yogitech]

Andy, I would say that's a pretty good deal! You can get the side cabinet and then re-list the rest for $100, should sell quickly. Eitherway it's a good price... GL

 

[Deafautotech]

the seller are idoit! i had been text to him first in morning and keep text to the seller to have address for me and NOW the seller told me it is gone.. i told him WTF as i asked for address , he told me 141st and ditch... that it. i told him that is not complete address!! he said sorry it is sold.

that why i dont like craigslist sellers if they dont do well with communcation!!!

oh well i am saved myself 100 dollars and space...

I wonder if he told someone you were in front of them and the buyer upped the offer?

Sounds like the seller was unscrupulous either way b/c you had indicated interest in it and he didn't give you the chance to come look at it.

 

[Chris Adams]

Sorry you didn't get it, but honestly, a decent deal like that is usually good for about 6 hours on CL.
I buy and sell toolboxes on CL all the time and that setup I would have sold for 150 in about 3-9 hours.

With your difficulty using a phone, CL bargains may often escape you, just a fact of life as CL is mostly a fast phone medium.

Personally, I loathe texting and I have missed a few deals because I won't text.

And like other sellers, I also pretty much ignore most e-mails/texts on items I am selling as my actual sales rate on e-mail/texts is near zero.

By the way, I've sold three side boxes in that class in the last twelve months. I didn't get 100 for any one of them. That's two nice Craftsman and a restored Cornwall.
Side boxes just don't sell for much used.
I've turned down nice SnapOn older side boxes for 75 and 100. Could not make a dime on them, so I skipped them.

that is true but other time i had text with good sellers in past time that made a good deal. but this one seller is just dont care and dont response back to me... so well

 

[SpiderGearsMan]

I wouldn't give a thousand bucks for a truckload of husky boxes

 

[Deafautotech]

well it is already gone so i dont care about it....

Im kinda surprised to hear someone say that. Ive had mine for 5 or 6 years and so far its held up very well. I dont think I would buy one of the newer boxes from HD. I dont know who makes them now. The early boxes like mine were made in Canada in the same plant that the MAC, Proto, and Beach boxes. Im sure theres a big difference in quality compared to the big $$ boxes but so far no complaints from me.

Do you let most sellers know you have hearing difficulties? I think most people are decent enough to cut you some slack and not insist on phone calls if they know that's the case.

i did told sellers that either texting or emails are my way to communcation.. but that seller dont gave me chance because he told me it gone because someone came first... i told him that i WILL come first if give me FULL address not just 141st and ditch!!!

i do like older model husky boxes as great for home only... i did own a mac tool bottom box as 41" that is almost same with husky but traded it in for KRL1001 as used because mac tool district manager wont honor the ball bearing slides problems because i has it as heavy line tech. the mac tool district manager told me to trade it in for Macsimilzer. i told why, he said it is very strongest box, show me price if i am trade it in, it was 8,000 dollars. i told him good BYE!
