Hello. I have a few of these traps that I am debating on selling. I really like them, but I understand that they have become rather valuable. I got some numbers from one gentleman on here, but would appreciate more information before I make up my mind. So, has anyone else bought or sold some 4.5s recently? What is the going rate? Thank you.

Brand new almost $45. Used I’d pay $15-$20 if they were in great shape.

Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Yep. I had a few to try out, and stupidly didn't by more from a friend that wanted to part with a dozen, like new, for $25.00 each. Now, he is looking for more, though I don't think he would pay more than that for used, good condition.


Just doing what I want now.

I’d give you $18 a piece sight unseen. Maybe $20 or a hair over if they’re like new

I wish I had gotten more too! I did get a few, including the "Red" special...


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

If you're a trapper and like the traps, why would you want to sell them? That's the whole goal to most trappers I think is finding traps that we like to set, that work. Just curious....
