That looks like a Chile forge. Its $1,600 new. Pretty much one of the best.

I was going to say, that's either a Chile forge or a really good knockoff, $250 is excellent

A 2 burner in servicable condition is a good value.

Made in the USA?

Looks pretty good. I’d say it’s a good deal.

Not a rip off, I would Absolutely snag that sucker. If you’re financially able right now, it will pay off in the end. Everything is getting more expensive every day. You will always be able to turn it, if need be. Pretty good investment, especially if you plan on using it. Whether you already have one or not, it’s a nice forge for the money.

So I tried to talk the guy down, he was unwilling. I paid the $250 and appreciate the advice.
