For what it's worth, the box that Crusty listed is bigger than yours. Yours is newer so it would be a toss up to a potential buyer.

Dayum, there's some sweet deals out there.

I bet you go there and offer him $1200, he would take it.

I wasn't trying to do that. Gotta make sure we're not trying to compare apples to oranges. I was just pointing out the differences. Bigger & older vs. newer & smaller.

The handles & trim tell me it's a MB75XX. With the exact model # I can tell you it's current list.

I'd say that's a helluva nice box for the asking price; I don't think it'll be for sale very long.

Each way.

If you leave now, you can be back in time for work on Monday! You'll probably have enough time to have dinner with Krusty & hit some flea markets on the way back.

Sounds like a great plan Merk!

I don't think he would make it back in time if he had dinner with Krusty considering he posted this as what he collects.
