There's a good reason you see monster hammers like this 
selling cheap. As Reis says you could buy a really nice 
new hammer for less than it'd cost to get that one 
working. I took a look out of curiosity when it was 
posted on another forum and reposted it here for the 
wow factor.

I don't think there are many smiths doing what most of 
us here do, that could use a beast like that one. Had 
you sounded serious about wanting it I think there 
would've been plenty of warnings coming down the pike.
