The first two smaller Snappy boxes were bought new just a week apart a few years ago. My large 72" box was bought a few years prior. I think I got the deal of the century on all three of my boxes. I paid less then half for all three. The big box was a 10 months old warrenty replacement box. Guy who bought it 10 months prior complained about the paint. They replaces it. He owed $4500 on it still. So I bought it from my Snappy guy for what was owed on it. New was $8500. I financed it thru the truck and only paid about 300 in intrest before paying it off, so I paid about $4800 for an $8500 box.
The other two were purchased when Snap On had a "Cash for Clunkers" deal going on when the car industry here in the states was doing that at the time a few years ago. I had a 8 year old 40" wide 18" deep Kennedy machinist box, all roller bearing drawers, I bought new for $1000. Snap On was giving a cool $2500 for a spicific model 56" wide KRL Snap On box worth $5500 or bigger. So I traded in my Kennedy and got $2500 for it. Take the $2500 right off the top and thats $3k. For purchasing the box I got a $300 instant rebate I could put toward anything Snap On.
I used that discount on the tool truck and bought all the tools I wanted that were on special for a discounted cost. I also got an additional $300 dollar truck credit from my Snap On tool truck guy for purchasing the box thru him. I ordered the Snap On butcher block top on the middle red box. It was actually $331 but he gave it to me for the $300 the discount was for. So thats another $631 off $3k so down to $2269.
I also got a 6 month no intrest deal on this first red box I purchased with this deal, so all I paid for the red box was the $2269. It was such a good deal and the special was only lasting a few more days so I contacted my Snappy guy and said I wanted to trade in another box. The deal was ANY BOX WITH WHEELS. So I was going to trade in a 48" wide x 24" deep Red Waterloo rollcab I bought new 25 years prior for $1000 dollar.
Well a buddy I told about the deal asked if I would be willing to trade my big Waterloo for his girlfriends crappy little $159 dollar 4 drawer tool box, so she would have a nicer box? I said yes cause she gives us school clothes for our son all the time. Hand me down but lots of good clothes so I of course said sure. I delivered it to her and pickerd up this crappy Craftsman tool box,

This one pictured is now $199, used to be $159. Anyways, I showed up with this box and he said no problem. So I bought a second blue $5500 Snappy box, except this time Snap On would not give me a $300 dollar credit or 6 months no intrest. I thought that sucked, hell I bought two! So I kind of bitched to my Snappy guy so he gave me the same $300 dollar truck discount as he did the first time. So for the 2nd box I got it down to $2700 with the $2500 dollar discount and the $300 truck discount. Again I bought only items on special.
Only this time I paid on it since I financed it too. Paid it off in about 8 months. Paid about $300 in intrest or about 3000 for the 2nd box with this deal. All totaled I paid right about $10k including all finance charges for boxes that totaled $19,200 NOT including finance and taxes. They are all now paid in FULL. I know I got a hell of a deal.
