Matco Tool Box?

[DC631]

What do you think this box is worth? Cant find a similar one on craigslist or Ebay to judge price.

I don't know why, it looks like a craftsman box to me. Not an expert though.

Special edition is another way of saying, Matco didn't make it. How deep is it? Looks like older waterloo to me. $250

Looks late 80's. The next drawer pull style after the double loop handles. If the 33" model, I could see $500 if its as nice as it looks. If its 26" wide, maybe $300. As special edition, I'm guessing because its black. In the late 80's the world hadn't gone to hell and tool boxes where red ******** it. To paint a box anything eles was enough to slap a special edition badge.

I think that is a MB1200 stack, should be all ball bearing besides the top split drawers and ~36" wide and 20" deep.

Looks the same as my red MB1200 stack.......I bought mine new in 1990 just before I left the dealership. I was hoping these were worth more! I was going to sell mine that's in excellent shape, but not at $500........guess I will have to see if I can repurpose it. Good luck to the OP and let us know what you have to give for them.

I could see up to ~$600-750 for a very clean, keys, liners, no problems, large dents, etc, just top and bottom. Single bank boxes, especially top/bottom combos aren't very popular anymore and there is quite a bit of competition. Add in that Matco isn't as well recognized as some other players to the average home owner, which is typically the type that would be interested in a single bank top/bottom combo. I'm not a fan of that in black though. Never know.

I always read about guys here who pick up these great deals on toolboxes....I live in a large city in Texas and there are no such deals to be had on a used box....And that includes searching surrounding cities.....Is it my location??? Everyone here wants about half or more of the new cost of there box....Its probably different if u work in a repair shop. I struggled to get a Krsc46 for 700 in excellent condition(I love it).

What large city magicrat? It just takes time and persistence turning over rocks if you will.

Thanks guys. I was looking to sell it. I'll let you know what I sell it for if I do.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Looks very much like an old Craftsman I used to have.

Why not post dimensions, specs and model number from the get go? Make us do all the work?
