Steve:

You didn't say what size the post vise was, but $40 is reasonable.  In a 
post vise look at the condition of the screw, the mounting bracket, and 
the alignment of the jaws when closed.  Also, note the hole where the 
screw passes through the movable jaw; too much "slop" there is not good. 
A missing spring is not significant, as you can easily fabricate a new 
one.  A bent leg or screw handle can be forged straight.
