Could someone tell me how much to expect to pay for a post vise, the
kind with the leg that extends to the ground?  Found one in a  local
flea market, wondering if their price was reasonable.

Well . . . . 

I bought one at an auction last Fall and paid $15.  I've also seen them go
for $100-$150, also at auction.  A new one will cost you $600+, at least
according to the Centaur Forge catalogue.

Basically, the big deciding factors, at least at auction, are the condition
of the vise and the number of other blacksmiths present.  <grin>

I have seen them go from $25 to $125 depending on size and condition
