I really don’t need another vise but...

[nicksdasd]

Hi folks, I just came across a Parker 23x in “excellent” shape not far from me. I know it’s not necessarily a collectible model and these aren’t rare in my parts but was wondering on a fair price. I think I can get it for $90. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

If you have $90 to spend on something you don't need, go for it.

I agree. Ninety for a good vise is worth spending, if you are interested and have the space / time.

Thanks guys. I have the time and work hard for my money but do appreciate the input. Oh and Stewy, always a d*ck??

I find myself in this same situation every time I browse Craigslist. lol. 20 vises later...

My logic is that I can always sell it if I get tired of it. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Also, we need pics!

A 23X in excellent shape is a very desirable vise!

You are not alone with this addiction! I LOVE vises, and definitely don't need more of them, but they just SPEAK to me!

I have this C.Parker vise that I am trying to get more info on such as possibly when it was made and value. It has original hand cut jaws. Did my best attempt to repaint it and clean it up. It won’t let me post pictures yet

If it helps at all it’s a no. 23x

A better thread to post on is the mongo vise thread. Please post your pictures over there when you get to 5 posts.

I have a 23X that I got for $25. But it's not in great shape. Serviceable, but just okay. I'd rather have one for $90 in excellent shape.

Get it!
