The seller is away from home and doesn't know the size. Can anyone make a guess to the size or maybe provide some information about it. The seller wants 400 for it.

Older entry level mac box. 40" wide roughly.
I think they were made by beach. I had one and it was decent at the time for the money I guess.
I sold mine for $400 and it was in near perfect shape. That one looks a bit rough

I am hoping to get something a little better than HF quality wise. Plus I hate red.

Not a bad price for a truck toolbox. Good size for home garage use for most guys, or as a second box for others. It'll probably clean up with some elbow grease.

It looks like it could simply be dusty. A good wipedown will probably bring it back to life. I guess 400 is not too bad, but i'd maybe try for 300.

If you are not familiar with that model. It is a 26" and a side box attached together and then the wide drawer section is attached on top of it.
Only the top wide drawer is ball bearing, the others are slides.
It was decent as a home box for me at the time but I like the HF better personally.

If you need a box and like that one and can get it for $250, tops $300 then you might be doing ok

I would also try and get it for 300, you won't find much cheaper in my area. And like you said you don't want red.

As others have said, no more than $300. That is identical to the box I have here at home. Mine is a Husky I bought 10 years ago at Home Depot, it was $400 new back then. Beach did make that box and just put different badges on it for whoever, Mac, Husky, etc.

I think I'll wait for a better box based on the suggestions here. Thanks!
