Kurt Vise...best Place To Buy?

I think the eBay prices are usually out of hand on used Kurts, sometimes 80-90% of the cost of new for a decades old, worn-out vise. I bought my new D688 directly from Kurt for $410.00, delivered to my door. They have a "Scratch and Dent" section that sells vises that have minor cosmetic flaws, they are fully functional warrantee and all, for nice a discount.
Thanks for the heads up on scratch and dent.
 
I wish Enco was still around...Best I am finding on a 4" Kurt is $489 plus shipping. Will continue to still look at the options posted above.
 
Don't forget craigslist. that's where i bought mine. Great deal for an almost new kurt
 
don't forget bidspotter and proxibid there some up there now, including 10" models. don't forget shipping, they are heavy!!!!!!! I won two 8" vises, from Arizona to Hampton, va $300($480 all said and done, still a great price for a kurt and unknown vise) and you'll have to find someone to pick it up and get it to the shipper, if they don't pick up. I posted on craigslist for someone to pick up another of my auctions and offered $50, got my stuff shipped. :)

4" Kurt vise is very rear in the used market.
 
Thanks for all the replies. Like the look of the Glacern, but starting to get in the zone of...."do I pony up for a Kurt" or do i spend the $150 (delta) on something else. Any experience with the HOMGE that Matt sells at Precision Matthews? It comes with a swivel at is about $250....

Here it is see what ya think, have no complaints and it's blue too !IMG_1615.JPG

I don't have a Kurt. I've bought 3 Chinese ones. Two of them came from Grizzly. A 4" that I had to clean the sand out of & machine out the casting to bolt it down because the cast mold leaked. Then I had to face off the top off the bolts to get clearance so it could spin. It still turned tearable so I faced the shoulder of the bolts & sanded the underside. It was a bunch of unexpected work but worth the money I saved. I then took the 6" out & it had a bent lead screw along with other problems so I called Grizzly to pick up the 6".

I bought my next 6" from Enco. I have no complaint about it. MSC may have something. I know they offered me 30% off my total order the other day. I didn't have any needs at that time tho. I've yet to order since they merged Enco to MSC.
