I've got cash, looking for an anvil to last awhile.... thoughts?  Good buy for 4 to 5 bucks a pound?    187 pound Peter Wright 

Good looking anvil, clean face and horn, edge chewed up a bit but not a deal breaker. I have a #179 and it's a solid worker. If the rebound plays out  It'll do you well. Kinda spendy for me- I paid $300 for mine. Worth it to see if you could get a better price, but don't wait too long. Good luck.

What Stash said. Bit pricy for me as well. But if treated as an anvil should, it should outlast You. So yeah, has a bit of life in her. 

 

I would try a little haggling for it, start at $500 U.S.... maybe go to $700 provided the ring & rebound are good. If they are it should last for many generations.

PW's are hit or miss. I have seen quite a few that have been beaten down and have a lot of sway due to the soft wrought iron body. I picked up my 138# PW for $100. For that $$$ have you looked at a new anvil? Anvil Brand has a number of makes at good prices. I like my 125# JHM , and they are $574 through Anvil Brand at the moment. JHM also makes a 260#. 

 

A pretty nice anvil, but like the others I think the price is a bit high.  Offer him your best price and see what happens.  

I wouldn't pay neither 800 nor 900 in Australia where anvils are twice the price then in the US ... then again, I learned that places like SF can be a killer.

In Derry you have to deal with the paranormal so ... who knows!

Seriously now, seriously overpriced from where I sit anyway. 

This PW anvil is going to be expensive at the quoted price, you may be better off to go with a new anvil if you can get buy on a 90-125 lb anvil or keep a eye out for another used anvil.
