I've got an old post vise, no markings. What might such a thing be worth?

I've seen people ask $100.

I've bought one at auction for $3, and seen them sell for about $12.50. These were all good shape.

Check your local Craig's List to see what people are asking for them. I sold one on Craig's List several years ago for either $100 or $125, I can't remember. It didn't have a floor plate and the post had been welded. I got a number of calls about it, sold in about a week to a guy who drove 40 miles to pick it up. Pictures and an accurate description help a lot when selling on CL.

Depends what part of the country you are trying to sell it, what size jaws,if it has the mounts and if the spring is still on it? A good working one with it all together 4" jaw $150.00 Bigger jaws more. You can find some cheaper but they are missing parts or jaw in bad shape or rusted up so bad you need to heat to get it to turn. They are nice tools in the shop I have five inside and one just outside the door of my North Florida blacksmith shop. They started making new ones a few years back, prices are very high for new.

Much depends on location--here in rural NY, there's still a good demand for them for farm shops and similar places, and they tend to go high--$100 and up--though I've seen them as low as $25 as well. Been looking for one myself but haven't stumbled across the right deal yet.

Not too many years ago I bought 3 of them at an auction. Think I paid about $10 for all 3.
