worth it?

On craigslist this evening and came across this box. He's asking 750.00 or best offer with all the tools. Seems to be a fair price. I'm not really interested in the tools that I see in the boxes but I could always sell them and get some of my money KRA 2007 Top Boxback. KRA 4059 Roller Cab

Looks pretty decent! If you don't want that breaker bar... well... nevermind.

I'd say go for it. I paid ~400 new for my boxes, and they sure aren't SO with a bunch of tools in them... at least I think that says Snap-On.

 

[teleman37]

Yeah, they are both Snap On. There was another ad for a Vintage Snap On tool chest that they are guessing is from the 1930's or 40's. I'm waiting on pics from them. I'm kind of curious about that box.

Looks like a $400 set of boxes. I would not pay even $400, but $400 is a reasonable selling/buying price for those without the tools. Better be sure you have at least $300 worth of tools to re-sell in there if you jump on that.

Wow, people must be smokin crack for the prices they are asking on their used truck boxes. At 30% of retail price it comes out to 685.00 just for the boxes. People must be a lot hungrier where you live back2class.

30% of retail is about typical selling price hate to tell ya on truck brand boxes. On top of that, these little Snap-On Kra boxes are little more than a Craftsman box with a fancier badge, so most people who need a box this size go that route. You can consider it a good deal if you pay 25%. KRA's bring **** money. I paid $800 last year for this 6 piece KRA setup. Tried for a month to sell it here for 30% of retail. Ended up selling off the top and bottom for $1,200. That's less than 30% of retail and the top was in brand new condition. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60204 It's your money, spend it however you like.

back2class, who do you sell most of your stuff on CL too? Metro Atlanta buyers, or farther north?

 

[back2class]

Well, finances have been too tight as of late to flip boxes so I have not done much in the last 6 months. Typicaly Box goes back on CL, but I am centered between Atlanta and 3 good size cities to the north and they get listed there. I ebay off the tools and smaller boxes, and if the box is odd with a limited market like my Taco Wagon I had, (paid $425 with some tools) I also Ebay. That sold for $650ish there, where as it got no intrest on CL for weeks. Not much money in boxes. The gold is boxes with tools.
