What a mamma luke!
Hasn't this guy ever heard of Tattoo's. Great web site, Mike!!
Spent almost 3 hours there the first time I viewed it. Stellar!
Must be some rich-ass collector with nuttin better to do wit his dough, as no self-respectin' surfcaster with even only an inkling of that "good old yankee resolve" would blow that many clams for a plug, I don't care if it were the last one on earth!!!
Just don't make no cent$!

check out tautog101's buying history. Hes spent over 400 on plugs in that last couple weeks. If you know him, have him contact me to be my friend, I could use a few more plugs. |

I think alot of it has to do with "Supply" & "Demand"
Take a look at the recent Musso's & Pichney's ,they are going for well over $100. these days,mostly because they are no-longer made but these HighBidders are pushing it way up then what they really should be priced at..
The lack of inventory and places to purchase a BeachMaster is driving that price up along with the same Ebay Bidders with deep pockets..
In regards to CapeSams question would you go higher to get one of these plugs if you didn't have direct access to them - YES.
I'm quilty of it and have been lucky enough to grab a few last year,but man it's getting crazy now....

Yes - supply and demand.
If you do a Google search for Beachmasters - you'll find vendors, but not vendors with inventory. From a consumer's perspective there might as well not be any vendors if none have stock.
So right now, if you want a Beachmaster, you have not choice but to go to Ebay. It's stupid expensive, but it's the only source.

I say thanks also
to all the guys at least who started in the cellar, some still are, and ended up in space buildings. Scott, Hab, Don, Larry, Mac, to mention a few, and all the rest that are making/keeping alive some styles of plugs, made in wood, that otherwise go the way many things have. I understand capesams reasoning about a building willing to pay $30 to 50 for a wood plug. If I had I would too. I have a few plugs that I think are so nice I am having great difficulty using them. I think the current average $15.00 to $25.00 to be very reasonable. If I dont have the money it kills me to wait but I'd rather wait and buy the quality than buy overseas stuff.

Personally I can't thank today's custom plug builders enough for what they do and what they are able to put out on the market these days quality wise....
I am slowly building up a very nice aresnal of these plugs that I hope will give me great success and maybe even into the future with my son using them...
Keep Up The Great Work Guys,, Thanks,,,,,,,,

I'll probably get throgged somehow for saying this but wth. I've done over 800 popper bodies ready to seal in a day sunup to sundown. Metal lipped swimmers upwards of 500/day. But I've VERY highly refined how every lure I make is done. Figure it out that's probably around 70 or 80 finished bodies an hour. I don't know of too many guys who have done what I have with this stuff/machinery though.
Chris brings up a good point "How many Danny swimmers before ya choke the market w/ pretty paint jobs?"
The market will bear what it bears...it's in a glut right now and it's survival of the fittest. If your stuff works and works out of the package at a decent price you'll survive. If not then you may as well %$%$%$%$can it right now.
And CS does make a good point too, try running rent, insurance, maint on equipment, and add a $500/month heating bill right now. It costs in excess of of $2500 a month to keep my shop open every month wether I sell a lure or not. Something to factor in to what the "perceived cost" is for a plug.
Not to crap on anyones parade cuz I know BM is not making beans for what he does but there are a number of builders out there that limit purposely how many plugs they sell for various reasons....
All I can say is the day I see someone trying to profit like this on one of my lures is the day I would throw every one in the fire and close the doors.

I knew it was all Habs fault

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I know one thing... I have a blue and white beachmaster danny without eyes that I got in a pile of plugs that hasn't seen water... it is really tempting to let people bid on it. Really means nothing to me. I could get a bunch of useful lures even if the price isn't close to that. Would I become part of the problem? My friends and I have debated this about extra concert tickets and the consensus was it is bad form to feed the fire.

That's what I was thinking....
On the note about the BeMa plugs, CMS usually has a good selection at the MSBA show...
