$450 is a big come-down from $1k

You got a good deal. Enjoy your nice HB. 

He had for sale for some time. We went back and forth for just over a week..

Anvils don't have to sit level. Is it a problem where it rocks or wables on you or just the face isn't level? 

It rocks..

Of course it sits level; just not on that flat and level surface.  Inlet your stump to hold it as you like it!   

That's the plan.

Well he went from $800.00 to $450.00. I jumped on it....Not sure what is going on here but it does not sit level, all the feet look good. See pict. I will build a wooden stand for it this weekend. It has a serial # of 1800959, and 172 on the side.

Here are some pict.

The average today in the USA is around $3 a pound for one in good condition. BUT, that doesn't matter if you cannot afford that, what matters is what you can afford to pay. Make a cash offer, and walk if you get turned down.

For $800 I could put together a really nice set up made up of a scrap steel anvil that would be much bigger (scrap reselling around here for 25 cents a pound), a home built forge of any type, and a bunch of tools. Seriously look at what you are spending on one item, and ask yourself - can it be better spent?

I have been thinking of a forge as the first thing to start with, I can fab one up and getting metal is no big deal. I do need a Heat..

Ok thank you. 

I am in Ocala Fl. I have some pict. but I am not able to post them here, I must be missing something.

1. I am looking at this Hay Budden 165lbs. the seller was asking $1000.00 I got him to $800.00, I think it is still a little high I sure could use every ones input..
