Iron Falcon 72 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have a line on a Peter Wright. 204 lbs. no pics yet. Fellow says it's in good shape but he also said it weighed 100 lbs. Then he gave me the numbers 1 3 8. He's asking $600. Does that seem a little high? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think it's high too, even for TX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Dean Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Seems high to me also...but then I'm CHEAP!! Seriously, I would offer $450-500 tops, unless it is factory new as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Evidently I'm cheaper than the other Thomas; must go with the name... I bought a 112# PW with a nearly mint face and the tip of one foot broken off for US$150 less than a year ago in NM---a much anvil drier place than TX. Of course the deal was so good that I had to buy it, it's now part of my travel anvils for teaching. I would not have bought it for $2 a pound much less $3 a pound.

arftist Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The selling price of anything is determined by the buyer and the seller. That being said, depending upon the condition, $3/lb may be a fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosterob Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Arftist is right, $3 lb could be a fair price depending on if it is useable or needs work. You can wait for a better deal/ lower price but if this is here now and you need it.... When you go to look at it if it has flaws offer less money, cash talks, just bring the whole amount.

Iron Falcon 72 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi all, Here are some photos. I'm going to use the money elsewhere. The fellow seems pretty firm on $600. Located in south central OK near Durant, Ok. The number is 580-564-4065. Definitely Peter Wright and 204#.(1 3 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yep, hardly mint. Has the typical over-hardened Peter Wright toplate too. Even here in New England you would be hard pressed to sell that for more than $1.50#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
