Mac tool box good buy?

[thecody59]

Hi i keep seeing this mac tools box at my local pawn shop everytime i step in been there several months at least and it is marked $1500. It is just the bottom no top i am thinking if i wait a few months i could offer around $750 and meet them at $1k is that a good deal for this box thanks guys.

I sold the same box but red for 1600 bottom only 2 years ago. I got more than i ever thought i would.

If you need a box thats amazing for the price. I would personally go for it. Let us know how it turns out.

It's the only good thing at the pawn shop all there other tool related stuff is way over priced. They are trying to get $500 for a beat up $150 dollar new black harbor freight box.

Around here they go for $800-$1500 on CL for bottom only. I bought one like it but triple bay on CL for $1800 a few months ago. I would say $1000 is a good price.

I would get it, good buy.

 

[thecody59]

But it is priced at $1500 right now i should wait a little while longer and talk to the manager with cash in hand and offer $750.

No way. If it's the same older Husky/Mac set I got the old Husky equivelent set for 500 for both. That price for only a bottom is ridiculous. Although you get the possible warranty of slides, I'd pass unless WAY cheaper.

i would offer them 750 cash see what they say if you don't want to go over 1000 don't, a deal will come up just have to wait for it. I passed on the same box with a wood top and vise for 1200 guy was firm and i didn't want to pay more than a 1000 for it walked away following weekend came up on a steal snap on krl1001 and top box combo for 1600.

The Husky/Mac set was the Mac Economizer. This is the Tech 1000. Big difference. I've had both.

Ah, in that case 750 would be a great price!

 

[thecody59]

Maybe if I wait a few months they might clearance it under $1000 because it isn't moving at $1500. It has been there at least 3 months.

750 is a great price if you can get it for that. I had one and paid 1000. It was a good box.

I don't know, if they're asking $1500, I don't see them dropping to $750, quite honestly I doubt they'd sell it for $1K, but good luck.

Why not go in now if it has been there 3 months. It is a large item that takes up some room. There is a good chance they will bring the price down quite a bit to move it after 3 months of being offered for sale .

 

[thecody59]

Maybe I am guessing they paid $500 or less for it. I would have to talk to a manager it is one of those chain pawn shops not a local one.

 

[thecody59]

So the most i should pay for this is 1k? I would like to get it for around $700 if i could.

 

[rodsnratfinks]

You're the one who said you would like to get it for 1k. Honestly, I think $1500 is a decent price as is. At least around here. If I were looking, I'd love to be able to get a box like that for that kind of money. You might as well make a cash offer now. There's kind of an unspoken lower (price) limit to these kinds of things and anything you offer is going to be close to it.

 

[dsimatt]

I'd offer a grand cash take or leave it deal, couple guys have that series box at work and not impressed at all with them.

 

[rsanter]

Local,CL has one of those bottom boxes for $1000 boo.
I have the same box in black that I gave $700 for a few years ago

I need a box with good amount of space i also have me eye on a 56in harbor freight box i can get for about $500. I have a limited amount of space and need to get the right one.

 

[rodsnratfinks]

Seems like that one might be the right one then.
