I'm thinking about making an offer on this brand new Wilton vise. I don't know what the going rate is. What would be a good ballpark deal for me that the owner is likely to accept? I don't know the model number off hand. Don't even know if all Wiltons are USA made. I don't think I'd be interested if it weren't American made. Anyone recognize it? A model number I could look up? Thanks, kr.

Be aware that *some* of wilton's vises are made in china...
"Made to Wilton 's Specifications in China"
This includes some of the round beams ones, contrary to popular belief...

This is True! AND, they do take the time to "Bondo-in" their casting defects, as I have found with the two ROC's that I have owned, over the years. Lol ! As far as I'm concerned, they make a good Welding Room, or Beater Vise for the Money, if you can get one for around the 30 dollar mark (used), they are worth it, IMO. None of the ROC's I have, or had, were marked with the Wilton name on them, so maybe this one is held to a higher standard? Also, If the 99 dollar price that Brian showed us was at HF, you can take another 20% off of that any day of the week, with a coupon.
