Who likes a challenge??

One man's trash is another's treasure:

Stackable tool boxes, metal, top and bottom (on rollers) - tools - by owner - sale - craigslist

Stackable metal tool boxes, a top and a bottom, bottom is on rollers. Brand unknown. Dusty from sitting in the barn. Rusty. All drawers do open and close, could use an oiling. Clean it, paint it,...

Errr… challenge you say lol. That should go straight to recycle.

 

[Beerhippie]

Too damned far away or I'd be on that like flies on stink!

I think a good bath would make a lot of difference.

 

[kbeefy]

I don't think they're much more than that brand new.

 

[Renegade1LI]

That's food for the local scrapper, I wouldn't take for free.

Not once ever in my life have I encountered that. One man's junk is still junk to me.

Y'all have no sense of adventure.

Saw a post on marketplace near-ish me. Old maximizer and krl boxes in a lean to shed sitting on cinder blocks for sale. Looked covered in mud from the dust and condensation.

I picked one up a while back that was pretty beat up. $25 minutes with some sand paper, masking tape and a couple rattle-cans that I had on the shelf... I didn't turn out too bad:

 

[Beerhippie]

Y'all are awful picky!



So much paint spatter--and on a textured finish--it almost looks original.

How did I deal with that?



I stuffed it full of tools and put it to use.

For free... maybe.... years ago when I had no money or tools....the missing lid is unfortunate.

I love that he included multiple views so you can really see the depth and breadth of it's crappiness. Eight-five bucks! Jeez, how about you pay someone $20 to take it away.

 

[Toold_up]

I bet a good pressure washin and that would be just fine. Wax it and use it.

$85. How do they come up with these prices?

By feel!

I feel like I can get $85 bucks for this.

 

[slowtwitch73]

Maybe it was in Pesos...

 

[rust in the eye]

I wonder if he has the keys?

 

[ohhimark]

I have that same tool box. I was told it originally came from kmart and it was a damaged floor model/fell off the shelf model. Looks nice compared to that one though.

 

[Snapped-off]

That's local to me.

$85 is insane in my opinion.

I said I'd jump on it, not pay the asking price! I think "haul it off" would be a fair price. I doubt I could salvage the top box, but the lower looks worth a try and the top box would have at least some usable parts... maybe. I have a topper for it already.

I've heard of people paying much more for a feel. And they left happy. Nothing happy about that box.

That is a dirty and most likely smelly box. Used hard and put away wet.

In that case I'll take the more expensive feel.
