Mac MB1700

[DTuck]

What's the going rate in your area on an MB1700 with ball bearing drawers and in very good condition?

 

[Wamsutta]

I don't know what the going rate is, but it's one of my most favorite tool boxes of all time. If the box was in good shape, I'd get stupid with the money. Here's a tip: the newest generation will have a rectangular side handle with 4 bolts.

That's an older one. The newer generation will have the rectangular side handle and spring loaded casters. If it's really old, it'll have all friction drawer slides except the bottom drawer.

I'd say give or take a grand considering the newest one is 20 years old.

He's asking $850

$850 is pushing it for that generation and the paint flaking. Make sure it has ball bearings all drawers.

For someone who said they'd overpay for one - I'll take that as a note to pass on this one. Thanks for the help again Wam.

I would offer 750.00. Those boxes are built like tanks and while this one isn’t pristine. It will still love a long life

The last generation will look like this.

4 threaded holes on each side with the handle mounted on the left.

Spring loaded casters.
