Your help on price for Matco Toolbox

[OilyRascal]

They want $500 for the box and tools inside. Deal or no deal. I'm really hunting hard for a good quality older box. I don't really care so much about what tools are there - that's a bonus. I'm told it's a matco. My guess is matco box has good quality tools.

if it's 30" + wide it's worth it to me

If it was Empty and in Good Shape id think somewhere around $350. I really like the Drawer configuration with all the small drawers. Without knowing what Tools are Lurking inside, Its hard to say what its really worth.

Thx - I'm trying to determine rough fair value of box alone - not considering tools. YES - I also like drawers config - The box is 4hrs away and I don't want to drive to look at something that isn't worth what they're asking. I'm assuming, based on pic, it's in reasonably good condition.

I would have a hard time selling that box for $300 here in GA.

Seeing how you are gonna travel to pick it up, I would request more pics. Show inside and sides and back. Also are they firm at 500? I would let them know you are coming a long way to pick it up and in fuel alone over 100 so maybe they will come down some. Also just how many people have offered anything for it?? I like it tho, and I think it would look very good in any garage. Best of luck to ya, and if u do choose to get it, show up here with some pics plz.

Decent price for the set, all depends on actual condition though and what boxes typically bring for your area. I have a Cornwell version of that top box and its a tank.

i'd guesstimate the box is mid to late 80's vintage judging from the drawer configuration.

used box prices vary widely all over the country, if it seems like a decent deal, and you want/need the box, it's worth it.

That looks to be only 26" wide. A guy I worked with had the Mac verson, those are very good boxes. Friction slides. For me to travel that for, it would have to be perfect, $400 would be my top dollar.

That's a nice looking vintage box. I'd go $350 empty if it looks as good in person. Might very well have $150 bucks worth of tools in it....
