	When I was at Elliot Skolnik's auction (he retired due to
	bad heart), I saw the same thing.  The entire shop walked
	out the door for squat... I could have had a 1000 ton
	hydraulic press for $1100, in like-new condition. Anyhow,
	when his two anvils came up on the block, the game changed.
	They were both around 150# as I recall, or a bit smaller,
	neither of them in superb condition, and nothing to write
	home about.  The first went for $1600 and the other for
	$1300.  It was clear that two lame-ass collectors got into
	a catfight over who was going to take an anvil home.  I 
	noticed a lot of heads shaking.  Dumb-asses abound. :)
