Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have a chance at a Charles Parker 806. It's in very good shape. Says it weighs 152# with 6" jaws. What's a fair price for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caotropheus Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hard to say, what is the vice's condition, do you have pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 This is what I have for pictures. It does look like a corner is broke off the piece that slides at the tail end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caotropheus Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Because it is broken probably you can get it for less than 50 USD...Use the broken bit as leverage for your negotiation. If you repair it I think it is a perfectly functional vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think it still works fine. I doubt it would need a repair. I might have to go see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaudry Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 A big heavy duty American made vise of comparable size and quality would run you close to $1,000 new. If you can use a vise that size and it checks out to work in other aspects it's a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Can I use it? You bet! Do I really need it...not so much. Haha. For what he wants for it and my needs, I might have to pass it up unfortunately. I already have a post vise or 2 that work great. This was going to be more of an impulse buy...

Daswulf Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think you forgot the period after the second 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotshoein4 (Mark) Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hahaha!! Daswulf - he might have as well... In all honesty, what would be a fair price for it. I have no problem hurting peoples feelings offering a very low price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There are many a large old vise going on cl in my area anywhere from $50-300. And normally that is pretty fair but $550. for that one is too high being that it is broken. Even if it is usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Collector's price for a user's vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
