I just found someone on craigslist in riverton, illinois looking for someone to buy his anvil for REAL CHEAP. It looks like a real clean Hay Budden 200-250 pounder.. It was placed up for sale this morning!

I just found another super bargain.....a 300 lb anvil, in very nice shape, for 250 dollars in harrisburg, pennsylvania. would run for it, since I live in pennsylvania, but I already have 8 anvils weighing over 300 pounds. it's on the harrisburg craigslist, the guy listed this anvil TODAY

Stuartthesmith- I'd like to thank you for the heads up...tomorrow I'm driving up to the San Fransisco to pick up the "large anvil" you posted about. Turns out it is a 400 pound Fischer in good shape. Thanks again.
