Wilton Cadet 150

Hello!

Found this recently on CL

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/tls/4488691370.html

Definitely not worth $225 because of the bend handles, welded nose, and jaws. So I contacted the seller and haggled the price to $100 as of right now, sight unseen. Going to look at it, and in my mind, its worth $50-75 but am not overly sure. What is your input?

i'd be closer to the $50 range or just pass and wait for one that isn't missing the jaws, dust cover and that doesn't have welding splatter all over it.

not sure what jaws run on these because i have yet to buy a Wilton that needed them, but I hear they are not cheap. also it looks like it did have jaws at one time that don't look like they fit correctly so there might be clean up or new holes and rethreading to do.

Keep looking.

I passed. They guy couldn't get back to me on the address. I also researched a set of jaws and started finding them... $80-115 a set! So, the search continues. Thanks for the help thus far!

Yeah, and in that condition, we know it's not worth anywhere near your asking price.

I know right. I almost wanted to meet the guy to just see what type of person he was.

The kind of nincompoop who uses a vise as a wrecking ball and then thinks it's worth more than scrap value.
