Roberts: the same seller had a Prentiss #22 that is 6 inch and 165 pounder on a nice stand last year for $1800 and not sure if he sold it.

BIG UNS aren't cheap if these are selling.

I think the seller is on wacky weed.

let's see if I got my math right that would come out to $8.125/per pound x 160=$1300.00 dollars; Yes he could buy a lot of weed at those prices.

It's L.A. But I think Jay Leno already has one... he's about the only car nut with that kind of money.

ALL: you guys are too funny.

If you're in CA, probably better off bidding on this 8" swivel http://www.ebay.com/itm/11221930639...e777c2467cc&bu=43180831036&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu

I'm not sure what dirt weed your smoking but I can't even............I mean hear you can't buy a pound for $1,300 let alone 160lbs.






just saying.

That price is not too far off from what they are asking in Chicago area, and this one is "Like New" (rust and all):

I though Cigars were expensive...

Funny meaning that i know most of you guys wouldn't even pay $300 for that vise, but you'd pay $300 for a level, plane, old wrench set or shop tool that you NEED.

just curious what some of you think an old 7 inch Morgan is worth? I personally have never seen a 7 or 8 inch bench vise in person and most of the ones i've seen pictures of are not in this good of condition.

i don't know if he sold the other $1800 Prentiss 22 that he was selling last year that was a nice looking 165 pound swivel jaw, but i'm guessing he did.

Woody: it would have to be a VERY EXPENSIVE CIGAR to get close to what those guys pay for their WEED not that i really have a clue and just a WAG. i don't think it's legal yet in California so probably even higher prices. or maybe LX can say if it's legal now that Washington and Colorado opened up the new laws to make it legal here. as of today i've yet to walk inside one of those stores we have that are almost on every street corner like Starbucks has been.

The Yost 208 has shrunk about 106 lbs. over the years.---You would think the price would shrink to.

Why the sliced off semi circle base? Better not work on the right side of that vise or Humpty Dumpty will have a big fall.

I think that Columbian in the Southbend Craigslist is a 206. I have the same exact vise and it's in exceptionally good condition. I paid $80 for it just a couple of years ago...
