I got my dad a 24" Brown & Sharpe vernier height gauge for $65, in it's original wooden case. Looks like it was barely used, and we've not used it but perhaps once in the past 6 years. My dad had also picked up a 12" Mitutoyo vernier height gauge for $20 at a flea market. It's missing the loupe attachment, but a fair price without it.
Here's a photo of the two, with a Starrett Digimatic No.258 and matching riser that I've since sold off.

You can find some incredible deals if you look around. Most of them that have a box in good shape will also be in good condition. Of note is that the Mitutoyo one actually has scale adjustment should it get worn and need to be recalibrated.
