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?

Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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..

IMHO, $2 a lb is not a bad price if the anvil is in good shape.

its high for my tast i paid a 100 for my peter wright that weighs 147 and i bought a 175 fisher for 125 this is in the last few months

If it's in good condition offer him $350 in CASH! Worst he can do is say no.

Be sure ya got seven $50 bills to wave in his face. Always negotiate face-to-face.

Face to face and cash to face. (grin)

Thanks all,, waiting for a check to come in and then I will check it out...

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.
