Seriously Damaged Large Chas. Parker Vise

[Maui]

Anyone looking for parts for a big Chas. Parker vise? In my opinion he's asking too much money for such a damaged vise:

Offer him $15.00

Really?? $150?? I thought it was a typo but no.

I sent him a message about the price being out of line for this vise. Let's see what he says.

He'll either ignore you or get all pissy and use a lot of inappropriate words to tell you to mind your own business. It's rare to get one that thanks you for the education.

Just another nut jumping on the bandwagon that found an old vise and thinks he has gold.

It's listed as vintage. Anything vintage on cl or eBay brings a premium. If it wasn't vintage price would be less.

Lets see, cast iron is worth about $0.11 a pound. 160lbs, that's what, about $17.60. Minus my gas to his place and to the scrap yard, Oh, and my lunch... Give me six bucks and I'll take it off your hands.

Even vises that aren't really "vintage" are sometimes listed as such and at stupid prices, such as this CL post for a contemporary Wilton 350N for $400:

Not only is that vise "vintage", it has original "patina" and is "rare" and "unique" and "Genuine". Wouldn't be surprised if it was from "an original motorcycle dealer in the 1920's" or some other misnomer stuff...

I'll give him $10 if he pays the shipping here... and throws in the broken parts.
