Look on Ebay for comparable sold vises.

I have and can't find anything close to it. Any other ideas of where to look? Thanks

Almost done restoring a Columbian 108 with 8 1/2 jaws, would be interested in this to give it some company if you're willing to sell

Those old Columbians are truly massive.
Here is a pic of another one I found from GJ with a soda can to show scale. A guy could definitely hurt himself trying to lift it up.

Value depends a lot on condition. Most of those big boys have been rode hard and put away wet.
Go ahead and list it on eBay and see what shipping will cost.
I’m assuming it is not damaged.
See what somebody will charge you to build a properly reinforced wooden crate on a pallet that can be handled with a fork lift. Then build that into your ebay listing.
Go with a low starting bid like $999 and see what the market will bring.
Good luck
If you want to only sell locally, take your time and advertise everywhere you can and wait for the right buyer to show up with the right equipment.

There are fellows who would drive hundreds of miles to pick up a good condition 8 1/2 inch Columbian. Info I have says they weigh 268 pounds.
Take lots of good pictures and list it on the Garage Journal classified pages for a high price and see if you get offers.

Is this person another one who just starts an account, posts a tantalizing question, comes back on in 20 minutes and then disappears?

Probably - just wants to know how much to list it for.

And expected to get a good answer in less than 20 minutes?
