Snap-on expertise needed...

Before I pull the trigger, looking for opinions on this box/chest set up.
They don't appear to be the same style...
It's dirty, but no damage or dents...
What would be a fair price for it?

thanks in advance

800 bucks

KR537/KR557 anywhere from 500-900 dependinging on the shape. Very desirable box. Coupound slides. One of my favorite Snap-On boxes

My buddy at work has that exact same setup......both boxes appear to be exactly the same as his. Early 80's era according to him. The top box has a huge sticker on that flipped up piece with illustrations drawn on it depicting mechanics working on cars.

i think mrholeshot's price range is about correct on those. as a pair thats what they are worth to the people who desire that setup. you can commonly find just the top or just the bottom box on craigslist for a couple hundred each

I'd go as high as $800.

$ 8oo.oo- $900.00.in my opinion. i would love to have that setup and would grab it in a heart beat for that price range.jmho.

I'm a freak when it comes to that set up. There are several threads about it. I'm probably going to re powder coat the whole thing at some point, but most of the parts you can still get, incl. the drawer liners for the 557. And all the aluminum drawer pulls.

I paid 600 for mine off the SO truck, and this included a side box. I think a 274 or 273.

I've seen similar sets up on CL for about $400-$500 but I wasn't sure if the bottom box was a 557 or not.

I'd say $800 above, isn't unreasonable, but maybe you could do better in this market, depending upon your location.

Whatever happens, I've found that you're putting in a lot of time if the box has some problems (bent interior sheet metal, replacement of false channel etc). Though it's fun (for me at any rate) to restore the few that I've gotten.

For $800 it should be clean and shiny. I'd say more like $500 for this one.
