Seriously.
Looks like a bunch of clowns paid through the nose for status boxes and with that kind of sense went out of business quickly, and are now trying to recoup all their losses.
Good luck with that.

such is the nature of craigslist, everybody thinks their used crap is worth 80% of retail.
Its been a while since I looked but there were decent deals to be had on houstons craigslist. Lots of boxes were there for several months so I assume the sellers should be highly negotiable.
I think a 5-10 year old box that costed 5k new should sell for $1500-2000, for example. But I may be nieve.
I paid 800 for mine on craigslist but I think it was only around 2500 new.
You don't really need a fancy tool box, but they are definately a nicety.
