Teddybo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The gentleman actually had a post on craigslist for a 5 1/4 inch post vise and I sent him an email letting them know he was asking about $100 more than I thought he would probably get for it politely and he responded back thanking me and actually did drop the price by 75 then sent me another email asking me how much the double screw post vise was worth I told him I’ve seen them on eBay for two grand but it’s been up there for a while and told him I’d be interested in Purchasing it but not at that price So he said he would be interested in taking a offer but I don’t know what they go for in real life go for not eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I bought two #4's for $150 and $235, but that was just before the tool price bubble really kicked off. That #5 on ebay has been there almost a year for $2400.... I expect I could easily sell my #4s for $800-1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 You offer what you can afford, or think it is worth to you.. Personally for me anything over $100 would be too much as I get post vises for less than that. Do you have a good source for a replacement chain? If not it will be difficult to use.

WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The chain can be sourced from hay conveyers. Check with your local Farmer's Co-0p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddybo Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Exactly I’ve heard from another person that that flat chain is easy to find at farm supply stores I think I’m gonna go over the guy around 215 and see what he says I just don’t want to insult them and push them away I just thought that the Fisher double screws were really rare as their unique and the only one that works that way I’d love to get a foot visr as well. And since tomorrow I’m going to Statesville gentleman who used to own a welding business and I were had to sneak peek and the pricing is ridiculously low probably going to dump everything I got into it Because I plan to sell at least half of it there’s a really cool old stuff in there. Alive and have service roast but I don’t mind that I got time I’d rather clean some surface rust off for two dollars in buying it nice looking for 20 . Hopefully come out with 10 or 15 cylinders hopefully the two acorn tables and 40 other things on my list so the wife’s not exactly going to be happy when the garage is already stuffed to the gills now is Going to be over flowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
