Charles R. Stevens Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I “love” it when an auctioneer spends 5 min on some aced horse that some horse trader has his Durand kids klimming all over while less than 15 seconds on a good horse that some one else brought in. Not to say it hasn’t worked to my favor buying project horses when the auctioneer new me and wouldn’t take kill buyers or traders bids for horses that had potential, but it still isn’t fair to either the clients or the customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birksy Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well the auction was this morning and managed to snag a #105 Williams and a few other tools... it wasn't my first choice but I'm still more then happy with what I got. Thank you everyone very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Wilkinson not Williams. Good score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 "Wilkinson's" and a good anvil in what looks like good using condition. Congrats. Curious as to prices they went for there if you don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Hammer Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looks like a great anvil. You now know everyone is going to want the low down on what you paid for it Let's see the other tools too! I bet it feels good to have a great anvil finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birksy Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Well I did what you guys said and put my set price at $250 but sadly I am indecisive and panicked because it was toward the end and I got it for $300. As for the other tools I can take a few pictures later but they are boxes of random things mostly pliers and punches. Also sorry I had a tough time reading the Wilkinson and have never heard of that brand lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 $3/lb for a Wilkinson in prime user condition is a good buy as far as I'm concerned. Not a deal of a lifetime steal, but right in line fair price for a quality anvil in good to great condition these days. Anvils have skyrocketed in price in the last 5 years or so and most parts of the US you can't find the $1 to $2 a pound anvils you used to..

Glenn Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 $2.85 a pound is reasonable, and for a Wilkinson is very reasonable. You should not be able to wear it out. It is small enough to move around and large enough to do most of the things you will want to do. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Birksy, you did well. Now make some stuff and pay it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
