Well I was watching this Item. I thought when it got to £50 it was getting a bit too expensive for me. After all its only a wooden box. Its even made from Pine and not Oak or other exotic hardwoods.

I Still cant believe what it went for

Linky to Item

It's worth whatever some idiot will pay

seems steep, it has to be a couple collectors against each other. or they know something we all clearly dont lol......

Try for this one now that moneybags has got one.

These are nowhere near being 'vintage'. They are still being made!!

Shows how some people have too much money!!

It's still a nice piece of craftsmanship no matter how you look at it. You don't get dovetail joints on anything under £400 nowadays unless it's made in India. Were you going to keep your Halfords spanners in it?
