Shawn S Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Guy is wanting to sell 17 anvils all to one person. Sounds like several big ones in the lot, he wants $3 a pound and estimates 3000 pounds :0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Parker Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 His refusal to sell them as individuals and to take pictures speaks volumes, even if I were in the market, I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Probably been looking at Matchless Antiques on Ebay... only way those could be worth that much together. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluidsteel Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If you average the weight it's #176 each. $3.00x176=$528 each. $528 is on the high end for an anvil that size around here. Doesn't leave a person much room to make a profit. "there is a lot of money to be made here for someone" refers to the seller. Lol. If he threw in the 440 pound double horn(Peddinghaus?)then it'd be an interesting deal to consider! I hope someone goes to see them to at least post a picture or make a report.

HWooldridge Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 That ad has come up before and it never changes so I don't think the seller is too serious - he's just practicing to be PT Barnum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I don't have any problem with him trying to sell his wares. But, offering something for sale without offering pictures of the goods is absolutely ridiculous. This is the perfect example of an idiot.

Woody Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Let me see if I have this correct. This guy wants to sell 17 anvils for approximately $9000 sight unseen. If anybody jumps at that offer then perhaps they would also be interested in a little lake front property I have to offer. One side faces the water, the top; there is an abundance of wildlife, water moccasins, alligators, snapping turtles and muskrats; most of the property is densely foliated moss, water lilies and algae; the property is easily accessible, by swamp buggy, air boat and parachute; the property is very secluded, nearest neighbor is 12 feet up and 25 miles west. Property boundaries are estimates only, the gators ate the surveyor. This is a cash only deal and for an additional $10K I will send you instructions on how to help me get $25 million out of Nigeria and will share 40% of the money with you. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun66 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Them Nigerians are sure financially complicated. I tell them to send the cashiers check to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest Washington, DC 20500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Woody, throw in an anvil and I'd trade some ocean front property here in New Mexico for it! Sure a lot of folks on the net who seem to think that admitting that they were thieves and dishonest people was a good way to inspire confidence in others wrt sight unseen business deals. Never quite understood that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thomas I have just the anvil to sweeten the deal, its a 75 lb cast iron swayback beauty with just enough casting pits in the face to give it character. It says Mexico on the side but I think the Chinese just wanted to blame the piece of junk on someone else. When the mexicans get wind of it I expect the first shots in the Taco/Chopsticks war to be fired shortly afterwards. Right now it is on loan to an aspiring young blacksmith. I figure anything he does to it will be an improvement and obviously increase its value by at least a shiny new nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sure I always have something that *I* consider too damaged to use that I can let go for a *Premium* *Price*! Like I have the *ORIGINAL* bucket of hammers as in "he's dumber than a bucket of hammers" that for you I'd sell for nineteen ninety five *hundred* dollars in easy weekly payments....I'm just back of the old Same place...

You sound like a "buy here pay here" car lot, tack on 100% finance charge on a premium priced vehicle, then charge 25% interest, require weekly payments, and repo the vehicle 24 hours after the first late payment... I am so glad I know about those snarky places from other peoples mistakes. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
