Before I buy this box from someone... do you guys like it? Do you want to buy it?
The inside is in fair shape.

I thought used Hoffmans always sold. I've had one the size of that shown in the photo since 1970. My exterior looks similar too, with a few use marks.

Hey, Tom... Just change the 'i' to an 'o' and you're all set.
But, you might want to see the inside first.

Scott, I tend to think a Hoffman that is not really nice is worth about $50-$75. You figure in postage and you are over $100. Just my opinion. $50 would seem about right to me. Just my opinion. I have 3 and all were under $50 and bought locally with no postage.

Without seeing the inside it would be a shot in the dark on its worth. From the outside and considering the freight cost, I agree with Matt...

Please take no offense but this fishing expedition is fairly useless without a picture or 2 of the "fair" inside of the box. $150 ? Is it full of cars ?

I really like these boxes when they have period stickers, to me that adds value.
I bet TIM would pay the 150

Hard to tell which model it is, but it's a little beat up. It looks like to little one. The biggest obstacle is the cost of shipping across the country, if the buyer happens to live on the east coast. It's at least $20 if the buyer is in California and about $60.00 to the east coast.
