I'm just picking up the WW hobby, so excuse my naivete.

I bought a 7' vise from Rockler, marked down to $25 from the original
$50. When I opened it, it was clean and appeared unused, but had
obviously been removed from its packaging before. It also had no
mounting hardware (bolts, etc), and no documentation of any kind;
warranty card, mounting instructions, or anything.

Is that normal? Should I go back to the store and ask what else was
supposed to be in the box?

Bolts are not included, but I'd think that perhaps some mounting
instructions would be. Why not give them a call?

It sounds like you've got the normally packaged vise there, only
usually it's in a plastic bag within the box as it has protective oils
on it. There aren't any type of bolts, screws etc., included with
these vises, as hardware choice will be dependent on your particular
mounting application. There are two holes and two edge hole slots on
the bottom of the vise which can be used for attaching to the
underside of a workbench with machine bolts or lag bolts. There are
also two smaller holes in each vise jaw which can be used to attach
wood jaw faces if one chooses.
Rockler offers a guaranteed satisfaction warranty. If you are not
satisfied with an item purchased it can be returned within 90 days for
refund.

If you have a 7' vise you might need several people to carry it back to the
store with you.

For that marked down price was it being sold "AS IS"?
