millhoff Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I just picked up this Fisher for $200, it is 208#'s. I attached a couple of pictures. The one of the top has a dark spot by the horn that looks like a chip but it is not it is just a darker spot. I don't think I did too badly for my first one. This is the one listed on the Youngstown Craigslist. Let me know if you think I got a decent deal or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Less than a dollar per pound if it rebounds decently I'd say you got a real deal! I just paid $3 per pound for a Peter Wright and felt like I made a good deal! Fisher anvils are noted for their relative quietness and considered good quality.

I just paid $3 per pound for a Peter Wright and felt like I made a good deal! Fisher anvils are noted for their relative quietness and considered good quality. I agree. I've seen worse edges than that, the top face looked good and if it rebounds well and sounds solid, then you've done real good.

millhoff Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Face is nice and not dinged much at all, figured I could work around the edges. Has a solid muffled noise with a great rebound, glad I did my research a little bit and didn't expect a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I would try the "universal deal test".Pick a simple project to make on that anvil.Set up a mirror close to the anvil.Make the project.Immediately upon completion of and while still holding said project look directly into the mirror.A smile=good deal,frown=not so good deal,grinning from ear to ear=really good deal.If you find yourself still grinning from ear to ear while you prepare to brush your teeth before retiring then,my friend, you made a "smokin` good deal". This simple test applies to most tool purchases and is not limited to anvils. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinton Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 A buck a pound for an anvil is a good deal, build those edges back up and you will have a real nice anvil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I would call that a very good deal indeed! (Definition: *I* would have bought it myself in that condition for that price) Good solid weight for a shop anvil and quiet to boot, wire wheel the rust off and get to pounding on it!

edge9001 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 such a bad deal you need to give it to me so there is no evidence of such a awful anvil with such a bad price seriously, I'm jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
