I'm planning to hold a garage sale with traps offered later this summer.
Maybe I'll try to sell some on Alaska List.

What do you call over-priced?

Every once in a while you can get lucky. I bought a whole large bin of traps at an estate sale for about $20. There were a lot of good users in there (about 40) as well as a lot of collectors(20-30). Plenty of tags as well! Does not happen all the time but sometimes you can score big time.
Moosetrot I explain it to people this way , when going to garage/estate sales , second hand stores and the like , it is hit or miss. With a LOT of misses. But when you hit , you hit good. Gotta put in the time and leg work. Sounds like you hit it GOOD. I bet there was a lot of misses too.

when i lived in ohio i always found them at barn sales and most of the times you have to ask. but when they do 9 out of 10 times they are old muskrat traps. also a good way to get permision.

Around here people will buy them at auctions and then put them in their antique stores for crazy prices. Have offered a fair price (compared to new) to them but they say no. The stories they throw at you about how old and how antique they are is funny. I just laugh and walk away.

The amount of time and gas you spend taking a chance on finding good traps at a garage sale could be spent on newer or new traps on line or at conventions. Bite the bullet and get quality traps and equipment right off, you'll be better off in the long run.
