any advice on INTERNATIONAL tool boxes on E-bay?

http://search.stores.ebay.com/Joeys-...999803QQsofpZ0

or:
http://stores.ebay.com/Joeys-Wholesale
and search for International

I've posted this before, trying to do some research before i buy.
problem is, this tool box could last a LONG time -
and a few hundred $$ more now, won't matter in 10 years when a good Craftsman box is still 100%.

they have this TOP AND BOTTOM for ~785:
New 42" International Tool Box Roller Cabinet and Top $784.99

Sears: model #59624 model #59623

JUST the bottom for
$829.99
JUSt the top for
$499.99
Total Price$ 1,329.98

here's what i WANT to do....
buy a box for me, and one for the son in law,
and get him some tools.

i am thinking those boxes will work FINE...and he will appreciate the box & the tools - more than just an empty box that will look dumb with a handful of tools in there.

Home Depot has MACK's - which appear to be the same as the one's on the 'net, but are really nice when you go look at them close up.
ONLY difference is no "Grip Latch" on the drawers,
and they have the drawer liners - which are expensive from SEARS.

is a CRAFTSMAN worth twice the money?

You could sure buy a lot of tools for the difference in price. These tools boxes are pretty common north of the border and Ive seen both these and the American Craftsman boxes and Im sure either will serve you or the son in law well. Have a look at their catalogue:

well, went to Northern over lunch:
Northern 499/299 = 800
ebay = 750 + $75 residential delivery fee
Home Depot 589/369 = 958

Northern stuff looked like pooh - wrinkle krylon looking finish.
Home Depot is HUSKY - lifetime warranty - smooth black finish

only the Craftsman has the GRIPLATCH to keep drawers from coming open when you move it - but i don't think you will move this that much.

wife said "get the Craftsman - or else the cheapo will last you a lifetime - and that will a lifetime of going - I SHOULDA GOT THE GOOD ONE"

yeah, i got 2 daughters/2 son in laws.
1 got new tennis shoes,
other was getting Tool Box,

but they called, and said they would rather have step bars for thier CTD,
so i told them to do all the legwork, and just send me the bill.
(hope they get cheap ones.......to cover my craftsman box!)
