Its a 5 ton press from the old House of Tools before it went out of business. Not sure the brand, I'm assuming its Chinese-ium? The ask is $250, thoughts?

I'm not sure about its size, but I'd say that's way too much (unless it's a really big press, but it doesn't seem so).

I recently bought a chinese one in one of their smallest size (base plate is about 3x6 inches) and it was only €25 (about 30 USD). as it's only for a certain part, I didn't want to buy an expensive one, and I already have a good one in a larger version...

I kinda doubt that is 5 tons. Normally for a arbor to reach 5 tons, it has to be compounding. Now you find a nice cmpounding dake or famco for $250, thats a deal.
