I’d say that’s a great use of your time.

That's something that my oldest and I really enjoy doing. I like buying a box of junk and trying to make something serviceable out of it. In fact, I already used a couple of the springs I got from you to get some old traps going again.

I’ve got boxes of loose parts I need to get to, the big issue is if you need a part you don’t have it often cost you more than the trap is worth.

I’ve ran into this sometime. Thinking about making a bigger bulk order of trap parts. Cumberland’s has stoploss guard sprint for only $1 ea

I have a large new/used parts collection but the problem is I can’t afford to use the parts and they are not worth selling you can’t get back what you paid for them. Junkers are easier to rebuild you have little into them but if you need 1 part you don’t have or new parts it’s not worth it on the smaller size traps.

That is true. It’s still fun though. More than anything it’s a hobby. I’ve spent money on dumber this sometimes haha.
