I got hooked up today, been looking for a good anvil for a long time. But prices around here if you can find them are ridiculous, to the tune of $500. bucks for a 150 lb...... thats not gonna happen. A buddy of mine called me friday afternoon and asked if I had found one yet. He was on the other line with his mother that found a 250 lb anvil at auction in Nashville Ten. Wanted to know if I wanted her to bid on it for me and what a good price is. I told her a dollar a lb. Convinced that wouldn't even come close to buying it, I thanked her and pretty much forgot about it as soon as I hung up the phone. Low and behold, she called me back 10 minutes later and said she won the auction at $220. bucks. A steal for this piece. Its in great shape to and even has a couple of tools included for the hardy hole. Cant wait to play around with this thing. Gonna have to build me a forge now.
