Post some pics of the beast if you have one to sell. Would make it easier for people to give you a realistic value as it varies quite a bit based on the condition. Never been used sounds good, admittedly, but there are other considerations. Again, pics please!

I got a huge deal on mine but I would certainly pay $100.00 for another one. Most people pay $1.00 a pound for good condition vises.
Heres mine

it's worth a lot more than 100 bucks for sure. I got a killer deal on its baby brother, Reed 106.

If that's seriously never been used, that's nuts! It's worth some coin. A few hundred anyway...

Dont just paint it. there is tons of clean up work to be done. If you are going to sell it sell it as is. A layer of paint will hide the condition and people will be more hesitant to buy it. I have yet to see one of them sell at that size. Mines a 105 and seen one go for $150


Where are you located???

 

[wblue2444]

going to sandblast it

Where did you get it? How do you know it wasn't used?

 

[wblue2444]

was at a old well drillers the jaws dont look to have ever had anything in the teeth not a hammer mark on it and no sign of ever being bolted down he bought just bought everything go a 120 lb anvil to for 25 dollars

Do you have this for sale on craigslist or did you just buy it? The pic you posted is in a craigslist ad.

 

[wblue2444]

for sale on there if i get a good price if not i will keep it

 

[bl00]

Ok, got it. Well that's a heck of a score for $125 for both.

 

[wblue2444]

like to know what a good price would be i am keeping the anvil just the vice up in the air

 

[bl00]

Hard to say what a good price is. Depends on the area, how many decent sized used vises are available, and if anyone really wants one. I bought a Reed 108 with a swivel base last year for $200. It's a newer model than yours with replaceable jaws. I probably would've gone up to about $300, but any more than that and I couldn't really justify the purchase. Actually I couldn't really justify $200 based on need, but it's so freakin' big I had to get it.

Clean it up and post some pics. How fast do you want to sell it? A realy clean big vise can bring very good money if you can wait. $200-400 starting price depending on condition.
