Do you guys buy traps at auctions? I'm going to one right now so hopefully there is some nice ones there. It's a construction auction so I don't know if there will be anything, i will buy a electric drill for augers for dirt hole sets for k9

Yes, but most of time you can get them at the store cheaper.

It depends sometimes they are cheap and in good shape and sometimes they are junk and go for more than new. Every auction is different.

There was a time that I went to quite a few auctions. Most auctions the traps went for more than I was willing to pay. There were a few times I got some real bargains at auctions, but it did not happen very often.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Good luck. Please show us some pictures of what you buy. I like seeing old tools and traps and a lot of other members do too.

My son bought 13, 330 style body grippers for $2 bucks for the lot at a Wyoming auction. Some needed new triggers, but otherwise fully operational.
