Is it really worth that much?

 I believe that only P.T. Barnum could have answered that question. (worth)

I don't know the value of it.  I only posted it because I thought it might be unusual and interesting.  There have been several interesting posts on CL lately which I did not post due to the "asking price".  Let's see if I can find that multi-tool.

Ok it has six inch wide jaws, rough shape though.  I have several vises with six inch jaws, the range from 65lbs to 120lbs,  weight is better in near anything connected with blacksmithing.  If it is heavy it may be 1/4  of that asking price.   I just hate to see a newbie jump on something rare, special, and believe the hype and grossly overpay.  I did overpay for one of these large vises, and in just the past few years, $65, but it has a unique feature.
