I have a one year old KRL 1023 that I'm thinking of selling, black with a couple of small blemishes. What's everybodys opinion on what I should list it for?

I'd honestly check to see if your dealer will sell it for you. I had a big cornwell locker I bought used and hung on my KRL 1022 for a couple of years. I realized it just a junk collector and I didn't really need it. I asked my dealer to see what he would say before I put it on CL. He took some pictures of it and asked what I wanted for it. I paid $500 for it a few years earlier and said if I could get that, I'd be happy, but see what the market will bring. A week later he sold it to a guy for $600, I got my $500, he made a nice little profit with little to no work and I was happy. A tool guy can market it directly to the people who will want it and can finance a big purchase. Now I don't know what kinda deal your dealer would make you, but it is worth asking. Big boxes can be hard to sell on CL because its hard for guys to pony up the money.

Maybe he is buying 6 44" HF boxes because they are so great and will hold almost as many tools
I'd love to find somebody that would trade a krl1023 for my krl7022

I've had my eye on these on CL, 2500-3k seems to be going asking price. Of course there is one clown who has been trying to see his for 4k firm for over a year.

Why not just sell the matco?

Look on cl and go from there. In mi cl is loaded with boxes for sale and i see them lower them every week of they want to sell them. Snap on,mac and matco boxes are a hard sell to the diy when they can get a great price on hf boxes that hold 75-80% of there value when u go to sell. Seems like most people that biy the truck brands finance them.
Id see if your snap on guy will sell it for u
Id see if your snap on guy will sell it for u
SO boxes do not hold their value!! (at least relative to MSRP)
He'll do good to get 50% of MSRP. Triple banks are even a tougher sell and I wouldn't be surprised to see closer to 40%. (ie between $4-5k)
Techs will want financing and triple banks are a little too big for most DIY'ers.

+1.. I was scouring Ebay a few minutes ago under "Sold" and lots of Krl 1023's have sold for around 4k +/- with some starting at 4k and sold with a best offer. I suspect tool truck boxes, similar to New cars suffer from the devaluation of big rebates/incentives. I don't envy the OP..

Waiting for the inevitable response asking why he didn't buy two HF 44inchers, or a 56" or 72" in the first place and how it's a much better value for the money.

Selling a tool.box to pay bills may not be the way to go. Getting good money out of a use box can be hard. Then once the need for money has passed, a new big box looks good again and more money is spent.

So few of these boxes are ever bought at MSRP, there is always a deal or promotion for these boxes new off the truck for 20-30 even 40% off msrp, the real resell value seems to be about half that discounted amount.
