You think this guy is stealing these things?

That is probably what, $20,000 in tool boxes?

"Keys are missing" on one and another that says needs locks. Repos maybe ? Possibly the guy is a tool dealer and they are trade ins ? Who knows. I think it would take a huge set of nads or a very small brain to show pictures of stolen boxes on Craigslist. Here in East Tennessee I go to alot of auctions and there have been many times where the seller had large lots of power tools and sometimes boxes & they had pawn shop stickers on them listing the date they were pawned, what the loan value was, etc. I got a nice electric grinder in a case with about a $100 assortment of grinding stones, cutoff wheels, etc. all for 10 bucks a few weeks ago.

I was just kidding about the stealing. It would most certainly seem like he is a dealer of some sort. I just think it is crazy how many boxes he has to sell.

Doesn't seem to scream "Hey great deals on tool boxes here!" either.

 

[Shadowdog500]

Possibly trade ins. My first box was a trade in that was still in the snap on truck when I saw it.

Yeah, doesn't seem like stolen property. Boxes are well described, good clear photos, and average used retail prices. No crackhead $100 deals there.

I also vote on it being a truck tool dealer selling off excess stock. Could be a Snap-On or Matco dealer.

Given the location, comments about rust and repainting, my money is on "Katrina" boxes; perhaps bought from ins companies and refurbed.

Cancel that... one box is 2010 and only the SO box refers to rust. Sorry...

This might sound a little out there...but you could just ask him?

 

[Shocker]

Prices are on the money, plus has a phone number listed.

He's been an eBay member for nearly 10 years and has a solid rep there.

Not a power seller or anything but he definitely appears to be legitimate and reliable.

It is New Orleans, it is very humid most times and things rust there without being under 5 feet of water.

He probably a tool box flipper.

 

[Steroblan]

He might be a storage picker.

Or he's my Matco driver....
