Well, it looks like I'll have to take a shot at it and see what the market says. I'll start at $350.
 
I would find the new sq ft price for the 1/2 top (after all, it is still in "as new condition) and 1/2 price the vise fron new, through the legs in as " welding experience" and price it that way.
 
$350 is a good starting point if you want the money out of it and don't mind waiting for the right buyer. $250 would get it moving faster. $100-$150 would have it gone same day. Just my take on what I would expect here in Ontario. I don't need another one yet, but at $100-$150, I'd fire the truck up and go grab it if that popped up on the local market place.

What size is it? 3'x3'? 30"x30"?

3x3x 1/2" Thanks for the input. It's just one too many things I don't need in my shop now. I used it for my Tig table, but I do so little of that I am selling the welder.
20 years back I was running a large multi-year exploration at the Discovery mine. There was a whole town abandoned there. This table was in the welding shop at the mine. The whole site has been destroyed and burned and leveled, gov't had to get rid of that white stain on the environment. The Record was junked and I rescued it, and put the sheared off spring pin back in so the jaw would open.
 
Ha Ha I have 2 of those re-purposed, one is my "clean meat" cooling table after an animal is cut into large chunks, easy to roll from warmer butchering area into a cold storage holding point. The other is just a roller table for anything that needs a ride that's easier than carrying.

Some of you may note that I collect sell, and butcher rocks crystals and minerals.
I bought a collection of ore specimens and a beautiful glass cabinet from a miner's family in Salmo the chap had passed on.
There are specimens from Yukon, NWT and Nunasivik baffin island.
Here is the one from Discovery.
Iron, id love to chat with you about your experience there.
Best,
R

Yes, that is Discovery ore. Many reams of old assay reports I saw that were 300oz+ lying around and blowing in the wind. I recently gave all my rocks collected to a local girl interested in geology. I had kimberlite from the mines in the NWT as well. I suspect the rocks are wasted as at 16 your interests change fast.
 
My fire got lit when I was about 10.
I saw that you could get gold out of the creek!! I built a long tom rocker.
My interest really took off in my 50's
