Sometimes I look at the tools on Craigslist to see if there is anything good. Sometimes there are good deals but nothing I would want. Today however there was a deal that I didn't think was that great. Someone wanted $175 for this vintage snap on tool box36aa0caa13cf87cef52bb4297326e38d.jpg

I wouldn't pay anywhere close to that....unless maybe if it was full of useful tools

That's the problem with Craigslist. Everyone expects top dollar for their beat up stuff (tools, camping gear, etc.). Occasionally you'll stumble across a good deal.

Take the "1" off of the number and it would look a lot better.


It would look even better if you took the 7 out of it instead

Problem is with snap on that because of the name makes it worth more than it's weight in gold

You can't find too many great deals on Craigslist list anymore for most stuff you would be better off buying it new

Craigslist sucks because people expect top dollar for their stuff and then you have to deal with the opposite spectrum low ballers or traders. No I do not want an old video game console and a snowboard :(

I did find some decent deals when I expanded my search but nothing I need at the moment

I found a Ridgid oscillating spindle sander on Craigslist for $125, then paid $115 for it. Owner was moving and didn't want to haul it with him. You can find some good deals.

I like the Craigslist ads that people say they are selling a tool but the picture is an internet picture. Show me the real tool not one from google.

Yeah, that seems to be the latest trend. I was looking for a router table, and the one pictured was one that was brand new in the box, although not a stock photo.  The ad did NOT mention it was used, and was only about $30 cheaper than new, but $30 off would be a good deal.  Drove 1/2 hour to pick it up, and when I got there, it was beat to to hell, a real piece of trash.

Look at this "vintage" jointer, it's "new", "never used", still has original packing material attached, "very slight surface rust", and has no motor. $150

 

I'm not sure how you get vintage and new in the same item. If it was an older model of a tool that had never been removed from it's packaging then I guess it would fit that description. If it was never used, why does it have no motor? I've never seen a jointer sold without a motor.

Vintage on Craigslist is a polite word for trash I'm trying to sell

Never been a fan of CL

Oh, so similar to my family's definition of antique. If it's old it's antique, it could have cost $5 and be falling apart but to them it's antique. 

 

I'm not a fan of Craigslist either, everyone is either trying to get their money back on something that's several years old and discontinued or it's in garbage condition. I usually check it out when someone mentions it and I remember it exists. I'm also hesitant to meet someone in a parking lot to buy something, the risk of being robbed even in a public area isn't worth it to me.
