Default Why are snap-on toolboxes so darn expensive?

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,

You are paying fo rthe name "Snap-on." Sure it's good quality but
there are other brands that will serve you for many years. Personally
I would not buy a $3000 tool cabinet for $450, it's just too much. But
hey, if the wife approves go for it.
