I just picked this one up for my brother yesterday. I just made arrangements to meet the seller and made him an offer.

Look around, you'll find something.

Oh and when I was looking at the Putco stainless toolbox to compliment my stainless rail caps it was more to the tune of $1K. If there is a 304SS for $190 all the guys who buy diamond plate boxes brand new are getting smoked.

Check www.craigslist.org
It's like a classified for your area divided into catagories.

I picked up a Delta bedrail high aluminum diamond-plate bedbox for $40.

It's stuff other folks have that they want to get rid of, kinda like an area specific internet yard sale.

If your not in a hurry to get one and keep checking, these's some GREAT deals to be had.

Here's a few examples from my area.

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...180570655.html

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/n...180079098.html

I've found deals on washers & dryers, fridges, just about everything.

and a new wife, both just a few miles away.

That site is as addictive as this one.

I got two 70 pound Sand Tubes to use for winter ballast for free a couple of months ago.

Hey MrT

Check your Costco if your on the Toronto end of your location.

The Alberta Costco's here are selling Delta crossboxes in polished checkerplate for $199.

$75 would be ok if it didn't come with a new wife !
I'd rather just have the toolbox and pay list price.
