Thomas Dean Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That only figures to $2.14 p/lb! not a bad deal and the anvil looks in good conditon. Check for rebound on the entire face. (to make sure it doesn't have any issues of seperation in spots.) You can always offer less and the worst he could say is No, right? If the conditon check out when you look at it then my personally opinion is go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftden Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 This anvil recently sold at an auction house called MGS auctions here in SA.I do not knwo what the seller paid but a week later it is on ebay for sale again. So i think they might be trying to turn a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
