Finally a craigslist score!!!

[flashman]

I finally found a score on craigslist to make a thread about. Happened to get home and see if anything new would be posted. Well sure enough, I see an add for tool cabinet, with vise. I figure this wouldn't be worth it. Open the ad and I see a not too terrible table with two vises. Well, one is an slightly older Craftsman and I cannot tell what the smaller one is. Here are the pictures.

The reason I say this was a score for me is they only wanted $25. I was shocked at the price when I saw what was for offer. I immediately emailed and was told when I can pick it up. The lady told me she had two other people email directly after I sent mine. Since I was the first to ask, I will be the only to receive!

Nice. That Craftsman vise alone is worth the purchase price.

 

[Ben7203]

Well done. Wouldn't take a much to make that table look good too

 

[Armed Bear]

you should of worked the price down to $20

That little bench is just begging for a Delta DP 220 to sit atop it. I wouldn't have tried to negotiate it down, either. That's a steal at $25--I figure that this helps to restore the Karmic balance for all the deals where I've been as ruthless as I know how to be, or when I've simply mugged ignorant sellers (like the guy who tossed in a couple of Delta retirements lights, because "he couldn't find the bases.") The lamps were worth more than the tool I was buying.

Wow, not bad at all man congrats!
Really like the table. X2 on it being a DP table.

Thanks all! I wasn't about to negotiate the price haha. I figured it was worth it for all three pieces. I will have to see what it all gets used for. I do know I will be restoring the vise, keeping red of course.

Where's all the "You ****" guys? That's a mighty nice find!

Brought this home today. The vise is smaller than I thought it would be, but overall it is in good condition. Hammered out the swivel release handle to make it straight. I will try the oven cleaner method to restore it just so it is pretty and not dirty. The bench top it is pretty beat up with many holes, but I don't care as it will just be a general storage area/place for my 6" grinder. Overall, I am really happy with it for $25. Plus, the little small jewelers vise is pretty nifty. No manufactures marks from what I can tell. I will post pics in a bit.

I was wondering too...I was willing to give the first YOU ****. Great deal...looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with it.

Closer pictures. I'll probably get to work on the Craftsman next weekend. Good condition though. It will look good next to my reed.

Picked up a RBI Hawk 220 scroll saw today. Great condition and lightly used, only down fall is it isn't variable speed. It isn't a huge concern for me but I am sure it would be a nice option down the road. Got it for $225 and as I mentioned it is barely used. I figure for same price on new ones, this is a hell of a deal for a quality saw. I never see any Dewalt 788or Delta higher end saws on my CL so I am happy. Here is the picture.

Heck of a deal. Nice snag.
