My Weekend Craiglist Purchase

[tkonbass]

I don't know if I would call this a "score" but I'm happy with the deal I got.
It's an 11 drawer Husky "ball-bearing" roller chest. It's in very good shape. The only issue is some rubbed off paint and a little surface rust in those spots.

Seller wanted $200 but did not list it as a firm price. I looked at it and offered $160. We settled on $180. He was happy with the deal too. He said he bought it new in 1995. It's feels pretty stout, seems heavier built than my 2003 Cman bottom in the other picture. I'm thinking it might be made by Waterloo. But I'm not sure. Anyone know?

The top chest obviously isn't a perfect match but it suits my needs nicely. Maybe I'll paint it to match later on.

Thanks, I actually had a little hesitation pulling the trigger on this just because I couldn't find any pricing info on older Husky cabinets or much in the way of reviews. I ended up comparing it to the closest thing I could find in the Cman line and after seeing it in person figured it was a deal.

I almost went with this Cornwell but came to my senses and realized I didn't need to spend that kind of coin to meet my requirements. Looks like a good deal though. Latest pricing I could find on this is in the $1100 range.

That's a good price for a good box. It's what I'll be looking to spend on that size box as soon as I ensure I have enough room to move it around in this tiny 1966 garage.
