Anvil in TV Comercial

[Andrew Albrecht]

I got a call the other day wanting to know if i had an anvil. I said yes.
They wanted to use it in a TV Commercial. As some of you might know the NCAA basketball championship tournaments are coming up.
What they did was place a glass slipper on the anvil and hit it with a sledge hammer. This was filmed at 1000 frames per second. So if you happened to be watching TV and catch that commercial, Thats my anvil.
Do you think i could sell it on ebay now for like ten times its worth?

Albert:

Go for it! Make a million!

I bet the buyer can tell for sure it was used in that commercial by the sledgehammer dent in it. :-)

Take care - Elden

Andrew, here is what you do:

Get a sledge hammer just like the one they used to smash the glass slipper, take your anvil out and smash a glass beer bottle with it on your anvil, then list it on e-bay with the anvil, sledge hammer and broken glass and say its the glass from the slipper (know one will know that its not) then i bet you would make alot off of it, put a reserve on it for about 10 grand, or start it at that. Thats what i would do!
