I have always used craftsman or similar except for special purpose tools (sometime Snap-on) online. I never realized just how much Snap-on stuff cost. Recently one of my (always late/broke) tenants owed me some rent. He was giving me the usual story about when he would have some money (side hustles, etc.) when he began telling me he had a Snap-on toolbox for sale on Facebook that was almost new. He was selling it because he had another box and his current job did not require it (had a truck with built in tool box/set). He had the box for sale for weeks at $4K but no calls so was lowering the price to $3K. Since I was pretty sure I would never get the money he owed me, I told him that I would give him $1500 for it if he delivered it to my garage (take it off the $2000 he owed me). I figured anything was better than nothing. He quickly accepted (and brought the box and the $500 additional he owed me)...so I thought maybe I overpaid. I looked it up and see they are selling for over $12K. It is nice and like new (and I really like it), but who pays that for a tool box?
