bigb Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've had a Craigslist search alert for an anvil for pretty near a year now. Last week I was stuck on the phone with the phone company who I despise when a 112 lb England anvil in excellent cond. popped up for $200. After arguing with the phone company and getting stuck on hold the call finally ended after 30 min. I called on the anvil and someone was already on the way, and they did buy it. Been bothering me all week, shoulda just hung up on the phone company. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 One reason I like the TPAAAT; you are generally not competing with the entire world over an anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Natenaaron; you ever see "The President's Analyst" ? A 60's film where the phone company is the bad guy; a bit dated but so very late 60's; read the user reviews at IMDB...It and Dr Strangelove capture so much of that era... BigB I actually stopped searching when I thought I had "enough" I thought other people should have a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Cochran Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I just had a guy show up at my yard sale yesterday with an anvil in his truck. When I asked about it he said he'd sell it for $100. I didn't get it. Looked like about $1/lb situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So Thomas, you being an "insider", how far out, really, IS that film, "The President's Analyst"? TP, TPC? Hmmmmm, coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I thought it was a scarily accurate portrayal of the era and situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
