MAC Econimizer 4000 box, worth it?

Local CL found this box

Asking $325
Worth it? How's the quality?
Better to get HF 42" base?

Those were made by Beach in Canada. They're a decent box but, by no means equal to a real MAC box. If overloaded or used with a full top box, the bottom units often cracked along the rear upper edge.
They had roller bearing drawer slides but, it's not very deep.
As others have pointed out, you can get the popular on the journal, Harbor Freight version new for a little more with tax.
I would pass at $300 but, I'm cheap.

Thanks, I passed on it.

I had the Husky branded version of this. 41" wide, not super deep. All the plastic detents in mine broke so you had to lock it so the drawers would stay closed.

I had one. For the time they were decent for the price but there are so many better low cost boxes out there now. If it was $200 I might think about it.

Man, I'd forgotten about that. I found myself wondering one day what the hell all the little pieces of plastic were that kept showing up in the drawers. Yep, all the detents had gotten brittle and fallen out.
