Old vises near Pataskala, OH (pickup only)

[EOC_Jason]

Saw these listings on eBay, apparently from a school? They are pickup only so if you live close you might be able to get a decent deal, only $5 each right now.

Check out their other items, they have some gas regulators, tubing, etc...

Man I wish I lived up north some times... *sigh*

you found these huh? it's a school and i saw these earlier and have been pondering them myself but i'm 6-7 hours away. there's a couple more vises, some workstations (desk height lockers with the solid maple tabletops) like we all had in shop class x2, some misc steel tubing and such. and a bunch of other ****...

all for really low opening bids.

someone close enough should clean up. $100 should take everything they have up for auction - the local pickup only is stupid on ebay - might as well go cl...

Yeah, I get bored at night so I surf eBay & CL... I completely agree that listing things on eBay as "pickup only" is pretty pointless. For large items they should at least consider offering freight or something if they really expect their items to sell.

I also saw some old workbenches on another listing that came with vises (that were not named in the listings). Upon closer inspection you could tell one was a nice Wilton, I forgot the other but it was a good old vise. Problem is they wanted $400 for the combo per table.

I'm about 20 min away. I may pick up some items if they stay stupid cheap.

Thanks for sharing

I'm on my phone right so i can't check location. Where are they in relation to Dayton or

Looks to be a little over 90 miles from Dayton.

It looks like to me the opening bid is $5, not the price. It can go up pretty far from there if a few people start bidding.

Probably about 1.5 hours or so, depending on where they actual pick up location is and where you are in Dayton. Take 70 E past Columbus to 315 N.

looks like I picked up 3 of the 4 for $94 total....road trip next week.

Who won the last vise?

What did the steel go for?

 

[srmofo]

Something like $125. I stopped at $20. Im thinking someone went and took a look in person and they had more than what was pictured.

I was contemplating the desks/lockers also, but they went above my threshold for something I have no immediate need or room for. they went for $45

I was going to bid on a vise or four, but daytime weekday pickup only killed it for me.
