Looks to be in good shape if that pitting isn't too deep. Nice clean edges from what I can see.

*pssst* you're gonna get in trouble for auction-spotting.

oh am i? sorry i see people posting stuff for craigs list and stuff..... didnt know it was against the rules. my apologies to the powers that be.

i kind of thought helping find equipment would be in the "spirit" of this forum.

Don't hurt him mods! He's just trying to help!

Looks like a good deal for someone even in the Massachusetts area.

 

[David Loukides]

Thanks for the heads up!

Deal-spotting and auction-spotting are covered in the rules. In this case, it's probably not a huge deal, since there's not a lot of dealers/members here selling anvils... or mills or grinders etc.

And no, I didn't narc you out.

It seems most anvils are in the Northeast. Freight would kill me.

James I truely did not think you narc'd me out. i appreciated the heads up. and i will look at the rules more closely. again i appreciated the heads up.

i really had no idea it was against the rules to post something like this in the forum because i personally am not selling it.

thanks

Robert, You got it made if you want an anvil! Emmerson is in Benton/Bosier depending on how you look at it. And with the Track so close there are alot of them floating around from old farriers in the area.

I understand, bud. No offense taken or intended.

Maybe we should ask a mod to clear this up? As I said, posts like yours, and ones where guys (including me) post links to grinders or whatever on sale, don't seem to arouse any wrath. Again, I suspect that's because it doesn't interfere with what folks sell here, but that's pure conjecture on my part.

 

[strahd71]

James i agree with you!

i understand the mods not wanting people selling their wares here in the shop talk forum and turning blade forums into a flea market. but so much of the conversation here in the forum is about equipment it makes wonder if how it adversly affects the forum when some one posts a listing for equipment available for other makes to buy? would the sellers forum be more appropriate? it doesnt seem to fit there either because i'm not selling it..... i just found it. and everyone wants a hay-budden.

i looked over the rules and its very murky

I posted what I thought was a good deal on some real nice thick leather from a purveyor that shall remain unnamed and got spanked for it.

The way it was explained to me was if it could be construed as FREE advertising, it's probably not a good idea. Advertising or promoting a sale or auction could fall under this umbrella.
