Where is the best place to buy a Lista tool box? Directly from Lista or through a dealer?

Is it one of those things where you get a better deal through a dealer even though you can buy direct?

thanks!

i bought mine through motorheadextraordinaire.com. they're located in Mass. near the lista plant. i priced it through a local dealer here in pa. ME was cheaper on the cabinet, but more expensive on the upgrade custom paint color, but matched the color price, so was overall cheaper. i bought a MW1250 w/ 7-2", 3-3". 2-4", 1-5" drawers. lista will give you the names of a local dealer, so you can price it through several sources. dealer will be cheaper. lista will be list price. if you buy from ME, please tell them charlie moore from pa. recommended the. i actually just posted yesterday in the vendor and product review about lista. have had mine for a year now. love it. wish i had gotten the DW?1250. 9" wider than the MW. any questions, feel free to PM me. if you search in the vendor section "lista", you will see my posty froma year ago w/ pics. orange cabinet w/ lt. gray drawers.

joe and isabelle. 800-618-8028 they also have something called junkyard specials.... meaning blemished or rejected cabinets , usually in lista blue, that are way discounted. they believe in made in the usa, so they only sell stuff made in the states. sounds like an ad for these guys, but it's only cause they're standup people, and nice to do business with. had long converstions w/ joe about cars, bikes, work, and cabinets. wish i had a need for more cabinets. btw, you can p/u from lista if you're close enough to boston, mass., and save the freight.

another thought...stanley vidmar is the same company, both divisions of stanley tools, located in allentown, pa. not sure how they work, but basically the same cabinet.

Most get them from CL but they range anywhere from thrashed to near new.

Check ebay and filter your search with your location and you might find a local seller. Here in SoCal there is one seller that seems to have a constant stream of used Lista and Vidmar for sale.

I'll also speak up for Motorhead Extaordinaire. Joe knows Lista well and is very pleasant to deal with.
