Well, my first questions is summed up in the subject.

I'm seeing these things on craigslist selling for $3k - $12k.

Or see ebay item 160364031960 (sorry, this won't archive well). $4k -
what the heck?

That said, a local seller is offering this one (18 drawers):

for $450. Should I jump on that if there is nothing wrong with it?

Thanks,

Because you can't go into every store and buy one. The makers of them want
to rip you off with high prices.

Also, the "Snap-Ons" of the world sell mostly to professionals who can
take the cost of tools as a tax deduction, thus reducing the net cost.
They will deliver on-site, and take trade-ins.

Also it's an image "thing", sort of like Rolex, Prada, Gucci, etc
