What can I expect to pay for a Lista

[Ruger_556]

What did you all pay for your Lista boxes? List price or are there discount dealers out there? I'm looking at a two bay mobile box that lists about $4,200

It looks as though you're buying new. I've got a half-dozen of them (and a Vidmar oak-topped workbench), but I've always picked them up used. Never paid more than $500 for a box, and much less for a couple of them ($200). Someone here suggested that I calculate $50 a drawer, which has worked out pretty well in actual negotiations.

I don't pay a lot of attention to retail prices now, but when I did, I didn't see much discounting.

Cheers!

Where are you seeing $4200 for a double bay?

Which hight double bay? I'm assuming 41 1/2 inches.

I'm seeing about $3000 for a double bay and the dealer is a member of this very forum. PM him.

Strictlytoolboxes.com is a Lista dealer. I got my Montezuma from them and then sown extra slides and drawers and all went well. Give then a try.

There have some Lista ding and dent boxes but I cannot remember who gets those. Maybe contact the Lista gal that spends time on this site.

Motorhead Extraordinaire has a scratch n dent section on his site, maybe that is who you are thinking about?

Where are you seeing that box? Can you post a link?

Joe at Motorhead Extraordinaire is great to work with. GJ members get 10% off. I've worked with him a number of times. He helped me out with parts for a couple of Lista cabinets I picked up off of Craigslist. When it was time for a new one, I bought one of his junkyard specials. The freight company destroyed it, but he found me another one. I couldn't be happier with the new scratch and dent box.

Lista had a deal going on free shipping of their mobile boxes. It may have expired in the last week or two.
