ausfire Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Someone thought this anvil was a bargain at $350. Sold on-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDobson Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 ive seen anvils with the entire hard face missing being sold as "pristine" "perfectly flat" "great using condition" up here for 500 to 1000. people that arnt in the know have no clue and the people that are selling it probably bought it at a penny a lb because of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Hammer Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I love it when the posting says "Rare blacksmith anvil a few hundred years old.........." and you see a beat-up version of one of the cheaper brands of anvils. Then you see the listing price of $400 with a comment stating "I've seen ones like this selling for $600" as if that makes you feel better. I'm just glad I found this forum before looking for an anvil to purchase. It helped me avoid overpaying and buying a piece of junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Funny I have an excellent Powell anvil that looks like that; flat hard face, missing heel, about 125 pounds (truncated). I paid US$40 for it from a farrier. (someone who knew and used anvils.) Great anvil for heavy hammering especially for students as the worse case accident had already occurred.
