It must be some kind of mistake, I make them all the time,it just means that we are all human. Since he is a member on this forum maybe some kind soul will tell him of his mistake.

I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to vises which is why I haven't picked up a used one yet. It's obviously missing the jaws but how can you tell that it's not going to close just based on the picture?

And that is why I call such "members" spammers. If the only reason you join a forum is to sell your stuff - worthless in this case - you are basically considering GJ as an extension/alternate to craigslist and other such services and are ought to be banished...
Maybe there should be something like a 25 post min./30 day membership requirement before being able to post in the classifieds.

That has been discussed in the past & rejected, but I personally think it's a good idea...

I really don't understand the opposition to a minimum post count before allowing someone to start selling their stuff...

how the hell would one of those break like that in the first place
it's almost worth the 20 min drive just to see it...
He probably opened up the dynamic jaw past the point of thread contact and it fell on the concrete floor.
It also looks like the rear dowel pins are missing.

Actually this post serves a greater good. Look how much we've (well OK, me, a novice wannabe vise owner) has learned.
This seller also spams cl too much. He has distinctive ads with his ph # always in green.

A lot of folks don't want to take part in useless "country of origin" or "imperfect chrome" discussions.
At least once a week I find someone who has been having a hard time selling high quality tools and I always reccomend that they put it in the classifieds here.

True and if they don't want to take part in any discussions they shouldn't post here , classifieds included.

thanks for pointing that out! I didn't pick up on the weld-- just figured it was supposed to be like that?!? hahaha
Yes, but it would prevent the spammers from dropping their Ebay and CL **** into our forums with their very first post.
It wouldn't be a perfect solution but a few simple hurdles might be enough to keep idiots like this away.
However I haven't seen much of this so don't know if anything really needs to be fixed.

Come on guys if the guy had a mint vise for $30 you would not care if he had no previous posts. You have to make your own judgment whether it is worth the risk.
A minimum post count before a user can start new threads in the classified section or send/recieve private messages is a proven method of keeping most spammers out of the message boards. Usually its either 5 or 25 from what I've seen. Some times its 5 posts to start a new threat and 25 to send PMs.
As has been stated previously, it doesn't seem to be too big of a problem here so why impliment something like that just to keep a few people out when it kills it for some honest people who may just want to sell a few tools ? Its a solution that should be used when there is a real problem.

It probably was a factory defect, or, it was hit suddenly by maybe a fork lift runing by it. It wasn't used long judging the body is nice yet.
Guys, Don't be too quick to judge. We look at vises 24/7 and can instantly spot a flaw. This member could be very old and as much as you think someting as obvious as that braze, should not have gone unnoticed, it could have. I see broken Wiltons all the time on Ebay. To some sellers its just another tool and for them, if the jaws go back and forth, It works! For all I know, maybe his punk grandson listed it and doesn't give a ****. I find it strange that he only has 4 posts total and they are all in the classifieds. He could be taking a dirt nap for all we know.
