BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Those are all good makers, and they look in good condition. Now it is up to you to decide if they are worth the asking price. Prices vary greatly across the United States. I have picked up all 7 of mine for around $1 a pound, the last one a few weeks ago was a 138# Peter Wright for $100. Now for others, they would gladly pay the $4 a pound unlike me.I would look up prices of new anvils, then ask yourself how much you are willing to pay for a used one. Everyone's price pain level is different. Whatever you decide , only pay what you can afford, not what someone else can. For what they are asking for one anvil, you could set up a whole smithy by going with a scrap metal anvil.
