Boysen Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am not ready to buy, but I may look at a 225# Peter Wright.. He wants 450.00 firm, but being new to this, I really have no idea what they are worth. I know that condition plays a role, and weight, but what else should I be concerned with?

njanvilman Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Location. Can you pick it up or do you have to ship it. Figure at least $1/lb for shipping, depending on distance. $2/lb for a decent PW seems about correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If you will go to the top f the forum page, click on user cp and enter your location it will help in getting you an estimated price. IForgeIron is visited by over 50 world wide countries each month so knowing if you are in Australia, Canada, UK, Peru, or where ever gets you better information.

ThomasPowers Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well if you live out here it's not too bad. If you live where I used to live it's $100-$200 too high depending on it's condition. Location Location Location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boysen Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Will fix the bio info.. I am in Nashville and it is for sale locally.. My guess is it is a little steep for this area, but again, I am new. Taking a class this summer, and will try to start getting tools and equipment this spring. I dare not use that "anvil acquiring method" until I am ready.. Don't want to jinx it. Funds are tight for the holidays, but this one is listed on the local CR..

HWooldridge Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 IMHO, $2 a lb is not a bad price if the anvil is in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 If it's in good condition offer him $350 in CASH! Worst he can do is say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragons lair Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Location, location, condition,condition. Here in the Carolina/Tenn/Ky mountains I average about $1.75 lb for a clean flat anvil. H-Bs and Trentons. How bad do you want? How much can you afford? Supply and demand collectors be dammed. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
