I'm not very knowledgeable with Snap-On boxes but I think this is a good deal right?

If it was near New Jersey I would pick it up ASAP. That is a very nice set for a fantastic price.

I live in Los Angeles. I don't waste my time on traveling anywhere to see something from a seller that conveniently knows when to focus. Every time I ask someone for more photos and the ones there are blurry, I get no reply. I will inquire though...I just checked around, and it isn't that great a deal for this model used.

One of the tags has spray paint on it. Someone repainted the side box or something?

Ahh I live in Downey! Not too far from South Bay. Darn I thought it seemed like a good deal.

I just saw that as well..maybe it's not a good deal after all.
It's not that great of a deal. It's a nice box for sure but you can get a lot more for 2500 if you are patient. I've seen the 30" deep triple banks for ~2500 before. There are tons of great box deals in Cali. There was a like new condition KRL761 in the same area for months at ~1300. I bought my KRL7002 for 1100.

It is even a worse deal than I thought. Apparently the toolbox is not actually in Inglewood but at his "Brother's house in Yucaipa" an hour and a half drive inland! I asked for better unblurry pics so he needs to "wait for my brother to take some and mail them to me". Yeah because it is 1978 and his brother needs to use his Kodak Instamatic with 110 film and the spinning cube flashbulb to take photographs.
I'm not gonna take the chance someone is gonna hit me over the head with a crowbar to steal the 2500 bucks out of my pocket during the 3-hour round trip. Then probably bury my body nearby in the Mojave Desert.
Blurry pics = Big Red Flag. Beware.

The internet is a great place to sit on my lazy **** and look through thousands of stores to figure out what I want, buy it cheap, and stay on my lazy **** until they bring it right here to my doorstep. I have hunted through Craigslist for years, but have only rarely found it worthwhile getting off my lazy **** to go buy something, and in the last year, it was always small specialty retailers or suppliers with killer prices advertising there. If I really want something, I meet in busy public places to check it out.
I have heard too many horror stories, but one in particular was enough. When I was about to sell my car, someone told me a cautionary tale about their friend who was selling a Corvette using classified ads (before the internet). His wife met someone at their house for a test drive. Of course she went along and was not going to just let a complete stranger drive off with their Corvette. She would have been better off if she did. During the test drive he suddenly went off the highway and drove it into some remote dirt road, and intentionally ran the thing into a tree. Then after this f***head raped his badly injured wife, he shot her three times and left her for dead. Fortunately, she was able to literally crawl to the highway, and was rescued and lived. If I recall, she was permanently disabled afterwards, and blind in one eye. Thankfully, the police later caught him driving the damaged Corvette.
This was pre-internet when I was selling the car as well, so rather than using a classified ad, I ended up selling it only by word of mouth. I check neighborhoods on Google maps street view, and never let anyone come to my house. If I was to go to a bad neighborhood because a deal was too good to pass up - I would definitely pack heat. But what deal for anything used is good enough to get killed? I might as well sell drugs; just as dangerous but more lucrative.

Yea I agree with Makapuu alot of people get robbed when they post their Iphones and Jewelry on craigslist to sell. The only time I sold something on craigslist was a kitchen hood vent, but I had my patrol car parked outside my house, and my off duty 1911, in a holster in my back waist band. Worked out fine on that sale.

I buy and sell on CL all of the time, and have dealt with more than a few questionable folks. Never had any trouble. On an expensive item like this, I rarely bring that much cash with me until I see the item and negotiate a deal.
The one blurry pic doesn't concern me at all.

Maybe it was just my iPhone, but yesterday all of those pics were blurry. He might have redone them after I sent him an email.

Had me laughing my *** off, then smiling remembering the spinning cubes...ahhhh them were the days.
