Lista boxes, how do you know when you have too many?

[cbacres]

Glad to see them in your shop.

The site of those are impressive. In my opion, the dealer screwed up getting rid of these, but great for you.

No to get some Hooters girls to come in and dance on them.

 

[Strouty]

Lista salesman got involved in you buying used listas from the car dealership? Huh?

What line of work are you in?

The Lista salesman was trying to sell the dealership all new Lista cabinets, not sure what was going on with the used ones if that deal happened, but I am guessing I would't have had a shot at them.

I still haven't figured out what I do for a living. I really wanted to be independently wealthy, but I could't keep up with the finances, so I am thinking about just retiring 25 years early.

You should have heard some of the techs, they were not happy with the replacements.

 

[OccupantRJ]

Ok, You can't post pictures like this without the story behind how you got them?

Post Up.

You guys should have been hanging out in the quarter million thread. Lot of hustling going on in there.

I'm waiting for the 202 pictures of what's in them after you have them well organized around your shop.

That will be a long wait. A lot of these are going to be in deep storage while I setup my new stock room, still have to order the storage wall components. Can't really do that until the funds recover!

 

[PelicanPines]

Could probably stack them... make a true wall of lista.

 

[Strouty]

I may have to add some wood to spread out the load, but I think it can be done. I went through and designated the boxes that are keepers (six total), the rest are pretty beat up and I will be using them for parts. I am super excited about making a few tables with built in Lista drawers!

 

[Snap_cap]

So you got 13x300=Listas
More than a Dozen Lista for under <$4000

That's like half an Epiq@msrp

HOLY SUCKAGE

More tables... more cabinets... vises???... good god dude... you are the black hole of suckage.

Now you need to change your location from Portland to Fort Lista, Maine.

I've got time.

Have you selected which cabinet to dedicate as your Trusty Cook box?

I'm curious to why the Benz dealership make the switch from Lista to SO? You got any pics of the new SO work stations?

 

[bcradio]

Awesome story and great buy. Congrats on the sweet cabinets.

 

[LXCam]

Kickass stro, I'm glad to see that deal finally come thru. To bad you ain't closer. Last week one of my kids buddies came by and dropped off a bunch of structural steel that would make an awesome mezz set up for that collection.

 

[chrisnazzy]

Awesome deal and story Strouty. Even if it's a year or two from now, I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to seeing your new store room all set up with these. To think you probably paid less for all of these than just one of the new SO workstations.[emoji106]

I may be mis-e-calculating here.

But I think you have the ceiling height, forklift, and cabinetry to make a 2 story Lista storage station.

Don't let us be disappointed.

 

[Finky198]

Holy molybdenum. Damn auto correct...

Nice boxes congrats ps can't wait to see more.

 

[Strouty]

I am glad you guys are patient, everything I do takes too much time!

Have you considered opening a Lists dealership? You have plenty of inventory

 

[Strouty]

I have been to the factory, it was much more exciting than my shop. I didn't want to leave and I had dreams of someday having a sop full of lista cabinets, but it was not exactly like this, I could use the ones in my dreams.

 

[PelicanPines]

have you considered stacking them???

 

[Empty Pockets]

Nice score, Strouty. I think a "YOU ****" is in order.

Now, I have to build up my Lista Collection. Zero down, Thirteen to go.

As an aside, my wife is often critical of the amount of tools and boxes in my shop, after showing her that picture, she suggested that I not go to that extreme.

 

[M_George]

Gota ask, how many tools do you have?

 

[Strouty]

I am almost thinking I wish I hadn't gone that extreme too. I just told my GF it is kind of a nightmare, but the best nightmare I have ever had.

 

[Waggoner72]

This is awesome. Great score and I hope it all works out for you. Welcome to the toolbox poor life!

 

[AnthonyJ124]

Gollly Mr. Strouty, that's some score. Ought to help you organize a bit! Thanks for posting the kind of deal the rest of us hope for!

I am feeling the heat now, Lista overload, still moving things and swapping drawers out.

I love the setup of this one, I don't think I've seen one like that before...
You sure you don't have one too many??

I definitely have one too many, but it will only be a temporary issue. The two boxes in my last post are setup custom. I actually cut out the center divider to use the wide drawers from all the "extra" cabinets. I am going to try and set up two more, one with all deep drawers and another that is a combination of drawers and pull out shelves.

 

[72highboy]

Almost gave you a run for your money on the lista overload, guy had 73 cabinets available and a wholesaler got to them before me [emoji20] .. Any who, any update on the shop setup?

[Strouty]

After having the ones I got, 73 would be terrible. I am still dealing with a mess, actually loading some of the sliding door cabinets today.

 

[Duker]

I don't think this can be said enough... "you ****!" Totally jealous....lol. The cabinet mod's are great.
