Estate Sale Find

[Flathead Johnny]

I went to a great estate sale and walked away with a bunch of cool items from the 50s, I found a home made tube tester and a early 50s outlet timer, its so big compare to the ones you can buy today ....I also found a great condition vintage craftsman/columbian woodworking vise and paid $12 for it, sold it a week later for $100. I'm located in MA and the guy drove from VT to pick it up. I'm happy with the profit I made but I'm wondering if I underpriced it? What do you guys think.

Holy cow, $100... I bought several (5) on Craigslist that came from a school auction. If I could get close to that I would sell some of them. How wide were the jaws?

 

[Flathead Johnny]

i think it width is 8-10 inches and it opened up around 12+ inches, i never measure so these are my best guess

I think it was about right, and was sold for enough.
It is a nice looking vice,

I always figure the price was right when it sells and I am happy with what I got out of it. A quick profit is always better then sitting on something and getting a buck more

12" wide is a nice big one. Mine are 7" Brodhead-Garrett and some are missing the handle and some have other damage but all were pretty solid. I thin you did well selling it for $100.

$100 is what you got for that when you sold it. I would have to say "YOU ****" as I couldn't get $20. lol

A guy on the local cl had a Similiar Wilton wood working vise listed for $75.
It was up there for months.
