After a of years of flattening my Harbor freight ASO, i decided i needed a nice anvil. everytime i came across one for sale, i never had the money. After a few months, i came across an anvil on craigslist, it just so happened that i had the money. So , the following weekend i went down to take a look at it. the anvil was in excellent condition and just the right size for my small shop(150LBS). He was asking $280 for it and after chatting a while, i offered him $250. I brought it home and made a pair of tongs on it. it works great.
