What a find!

Saw these two traps at an Estate Store. One is $35.00 and the other is $55.00.
Why would anyone buy these? You would have to be completely ignorant of traps to spend that kind of money.

That is how ever resale shop around here is. 3 dollar trap for 30. Place a tag antique trap.. I guess every trap is antique

Plenty of ignorant people out there, I guess. Ask Wanna Be Trapper. He's over on the covid thread right now telling everyone (especially southerners) how ignorant they are.

Maybe priced high because the rebar stake comes with it lol.

Old traps. Or old traps that are rusty. OR just look rusty and old. Are being bought everywhere. Cracker Barrel managers at home. Have even called trappers look for them.

Saw a russian = 50s model. Looked like ^^^^^^ that traps cheap copy. Go for 300 at a flea market before. Some people will buy anything

I’ll admit that I would be a bit jealous if they sell at that

I got a dozen they are clean and ready for dye, I would consider selling for a $1000. LOL
Its the same at antique stores here but usually in th $15-$20 dollar range.

I’m setting on a freaking gold mine!!! Only thing I can find is the shaft!!!

Did they sell?

Well I’m sure each one probably held Sasquatch by the toe, for three days, in 40 below, on a sandy beach at Lake Michigan.

What was it that Barnum and Baily always said?

90 for the pair, take a 50 dollar offer and the buyer thinks they got a bargain.

Whose ignorant?

I don't know. This was about 6 weeks ago. Haven't been back yet.

More than likely still setting there.

PT Barnum is credited with "There's a sucker born every minute"

I would take what have in there and ask if they would give me half. Maybe they would be foolish enough to buy.

E-Bay is full of similar deals. Lots of #2 Victor double longsprings being listed as bear traps!

An antique BEAR trap! And likely stolen.

Someone will think they got a good deal
