Just noticed on FnT and MTP that the alpha traps now say freedom brand? They also are now making a #2 sized trap and the #3s went from $279/ dozen to $339..

I just looked and that seems to be the case. Disappointed the price went up so much. I really like the trap was hoping to get more here soon.

MADE IN AMERICA

Steel going nuts. Lot of mfgs were working on metal they had stockpiled when prices were cheap. Comstock just said their prices are taking a jump

I'm really glad I bought enough traps to last my life and probably my sons' lives when they were cheaper. At the time, I thought WTH am I doing?

That's getting close to $30 a trap.

I like the Alphas but still like my MB550s better.

Not gonna sell...

At what percent though? I have become more in tune with the made in usa stamping in the past couple of years. Knowing what I do now, many things that we think are "made in the usa" are really only processed in the USA. This is true even if they put made in usa on it.

Everything used to be cheaper, lol

Go crabbing, 50 bucks a pot rigged, lose 10 % a year, replace 20 % per year as they wear out....379 dollars sounds like a deal...
