I watch anvil prices on craigslist for laughs at this point, as
prices in WA seem to have gone way up in the last year. I dunno,
maybe a Trenton is a great anvil, but this seems a tad high:

150 lb. $800 
83 lb.  $450 
70 lb.  $400

A friend gave me a couple pieces of forklift tine that I'm currently
using as an anvil; lots of mass, and fine for my purposes (which is
basically bashing an occasional rivet lately).
