Since these typically retail for $800 and up, I felt like I was getting a good deal. After getting it home, I'm glad I didn't pay more. The top corners were totally rusted out, a lot of the powdercoat was peeling, and it was well used. I think it was owned by a sheetrocker judging by the tools and rust I found.

Thankfully I have a cheap welder and got some patch panels cutout out...
