John gave me this back in 1994 before he even started selling, the plug is in absolute brand new condition and has never seen water plus, its signed by the man himself! original hooks and all, brand new! John will vouch for authenticity,just ask him! For a collector, this plug is definatly one of a kind and a must have, price? you tell me!http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&/habspop.jpg

I'll trade you your rod for it.:D :laughs:
Nice plug Bill.

ide give you a wooden nickel, this is one even before they were given away for free:bounce: :shocked: :hidin: throw it in the ocean an stop trying to catch a googan

that will get you the biggest bucks unless some well heeled local collectors make the move....nice lure and history!

aren't all classified adds supposed to have prices posted?

I have never seen such anal people in all my life! Go tell dad "I broke the rules":yak4: :yak4: ...

Its just not worth posting here I guess....I have no idea what to ask for the plug so there is no "price" Its in the eye of the beholder.....

Bill, are you really looking to unload it?
I bet it will do more than you think on Ebay.
If you're gonna sell it, let me touch it first, the plug that is.

Choggieman - where does it say that??

Bill - Ebay might be the right place for it, may exposure, loosest wallets...

I have a bunch of old Hab's(poppers,jointed eels,needles) that John gave me back in the early 90's. I would hang on to them as they are a piece of history. What you might get in return money wise is nil compared the nostalgic value. Hang one over your fireplace or entrance to the man cave.

i'll give you 15 bucks
but you should keep it

My pm's are indeed overflowing, with some of the offers I am getting I may just hold on to this baby! I am shocked at the amounts!

Johnr, I apologize. I was interested in the plug but didn't think it was ok to have a bidding war on this site. I did not realize that we could aution off items for sale here. Sorry...

This is a simple sale. Not an auction or a raffle but a best offer. I simply don't see the problem on why this is such a big deal. This isn't commercial spam, nobody is selling 20 years of Porn Tapes, and it isn't a get rich quick scam - my main concerns of abuse of the classified section here. I fail to see anything wrong with this. Granted, this is not a Al Gag's Blufish Bomb :) . This is just one item going up on the classifieds. Either way, it is just not a big deal. If someone is OCCASIONALLY going to put up an item like this, that is OK. If a plug collector for examaple was going to liquidate their plugs to buy one of those Space Venture rides, yeh, I would see issues with that. But one item is certainly no big deal... And nothing to apologize for...

Thanks,

John

Bill, as a long time collector you may be letting emotion get in the way of the real market value. To you it's worth a lot but honestly on the market, unless you find an obsessed Hab's collector, the value of that plug is not that great. Now if it was a needle and a rare color or one of his first ones in the old style maybe a touch more. No offense just a little advice. Will it be college fund material? Not really. Realistically it would have to be a plug of rare design, color and size.

Hope you understand, Steve Shiraka

Steve in all honesty, I have no idea what your talking about? I have ZERO Emotion over this, I was just seeing what I could get as an offer. Other than John being an old friend I have no attachment to the plug, nor do I collect plugs in any shape or form, It simply does not interest me. Just thought I would put it out there for someone who may really want it.

if you have zero emotion over it why dont you give it to someone who may really want it

probably because its worth something, isn't that why people sell things.
