Seems like a fair deal for this used Lista cabinet.

Not to highjack, but maybe make this an official CL / Lista find thread?

That is NOT a Lista cabinet. Looks like a Stanley-Vidmar.

Sorry Joe. You are correct. Here is another S/V.

That's a pretty old one. No drawer interlocks so potentially a safety issue. If too many heavy drawers are open at the same time, it's coming over.

On these big and tall boxes look for one with either a built in drawer interlock system or at least one with individual drawer locks.

The picture is of my friend Peter from London, Ontario. He was rolling his big name toolbox in the shop and all of the drawers opened. It came down on him. Luckily he only badly bruised a foot. It could have been worse.

Not a smoking deal but if they come down a bit on the price not bad.

Good info, Joe, and not something I would have known to think about. I was actually eyeballing those, because at $675 asking price for one of that size I feel like it's a good deal.

I feel like one more industrial quality box will allow me to clean up essentially all tools, parts, and clutter in my garage. Gotta sniff the deals out!

not really discount prices, but he sure has alot of them... these are also Stanley/Vidmar cabinets.

Yeah but on the other side of the country, if you mean the NH one.

Plus, didn't he go with red on his new setup?

Bull, I like the way you work. Your other Lista needs company, and then the Craftsman (who doesn't have one or two?) can bow and make his exit.

My Lista does have a tall Vidmar that I picked up for $200 last spring. Now that I have discovered this gray and blue scheme, I have to give that one the treatment to match.

But even still, one more cabinet might be in order. I can't get rid of those C-man boxes for sentimental reasons, but I sure can relegate them to the basement!
