Considering selling my mint condition classic systainers. Any thoughts on how successful I'd be? I'd hope to get at least 60% or so of the value of new.. I've got four each of sys 4's and 2's, and 1's.
 
im not 100% up on the us market but i read here on the fog about people buying and selling their systainers online.
if you dont want them , id say look at ebay etc to see value and maybe sell. if you are going to replace with t locs i would definetly sell
 
Sounds like a good deal for the purchaser.  If you were in Toronto, I would be happy purchase them for that price.

If I were selling any of my systainers, I would expect to get 80% of what I paid for them.
 
I just  paid $55 (including shipping) for an old style Sys 2 and I thought that was pretty fair. Could have been a little less expensive, but I was only buying one. I'd be interested in others if they're around 50% of new.
 
I would be lucky to get 40% for mine.  Mine protect my investments in a rough and tumble world!

But if I autographed them and sold them here I might get 39%  [big grin].

In all seriousness, there will be a market for the classic systainers.  We are talking about plastic boxes not computers that are a couple of years old.

My 4 cents worth.

I'm in the process of selling some of my classic systainers. I have a Sys 3 and two Sys 2's that are spoken for. I have two Sys 1' with the colored organizing boxes that I'm interested in selling, also a router bit Sys 1. I have a few other Sys 2's but I did sharpie on the side of those since the labels fell off soon after I got them!

PM me if you're interested & what you're willing to pay!

i would be interested at 50% and of course it depends on shipping cost. [big grin]

Acetone will take that marker right off.  Paint thinner will get most as well.

As for the Systainers, check the classifieds as people have been selling a lot for pretty high prices.
 
now is the time i would say, having only T-locs myself i am staggered at how annoying the classic ones are to handle in comparison. i would not want any for free.
so sell them before everybody thinks the same way,
obviously there will always be a market for the classics, we are still in a "in between" phase, most users haven't heard of or used T-locs. but as it spreads the resale price of the classics will drop to a point where it is interesting again to buy something that obviously looks "outdated" and is inferior to "what's new"
