[Mike007]

This seems like potentially a really good deal for someone in or near NJ.

$1000

I am selling a used well kept roller tool box. The box measures 50 1/2 x 21 and is equipped with roller slide drawers. Any questions contact Jerry at

Mike: I spoke with the owner yesterday, and am hoping for some pictures from him. It's about 1 hr 45 min from me, but I have a friend that is local going to eye it for me. I'll post back with an update, (or hopefully pics of it in my garage).

I didn;t read anything about a Buyer's Premium! LOL.

Just waiting to hear back from him: one more photo and I'll likely be sending him a deposit and pick it up tomorrow.

Woot! Thanks!

If I were you I would get there ASAP with cash in hand. Deals seem to go quick on Craigslist.

Duly noted! Truck is in pieces today and he's got someone coming at 3:00 he was holding onto it for, so nothing but fingers crossed. Not much I can do!

 

[kennerd]

Truck's done, verified and picking it up tomorrow.

Ssweet

Nice, congrats!!

Congrats! Post more pics when you get it home will ya.

Congrats, and agreed, pics are a must. (GJ rule: no pics = didn't happen)

Phone died and a friend helped me unload at my father's shop and I had to run him back home so I'll grab pics on the way in to work tomorrow. Box is solid: slides are a bit dry and gritty so I'll clean and lube them to check them out when I get some time. Paint condition was ok and the top front edge was a bit roughr than the pics showed, but pleased all around. At least one pair of slides needs attention/replacement

Will likely sand and reprint or possibly have the whole thing powder coated, depending on the cost (likely paint). It's a box for at home, so it's definitely not for daily heavy use. Now to hopefully win the top box I'm bidding for on eBay and I'll have 3x the amount room I need!

Thanks all and I'll post pics when I get them.

Hopped into the shop on the way to the office today:

I'll remove the rails and clean/lube: is there a link to the suggested maintenance that most use for this?

Then I'll clean the cabinet and drawers and verify if any tin-knocking needs to be done, then finally figure out if I'm going to prep for either paint or powder coating

I'm just like that, and there's a powder coater right next door to my dad's shop.

Plus, I need it to look better than Dad's MAC box that is a mirror image of this setup.

 

[RKA]

Lol!

Nice find, but as a rule, I don't like new stuff. I like things that tell their history in an honest way. I'd leave it just the way it is.
