I'd lmao if the seller puts up 5 or six more of the same plugs in a couple of weeks!

Don't kid yourself....its not only a very scarce lure (They only were in business for 2 years I think maybe 3??) scarce enough in beatup, fished condition but in brand new condition with a box which is mint.....those prices may be a bit on the high side but not too far out of line.

Larry, I see your point but what I see with these auctions is a group of collectors who all know each other (and probably belong to the same collectors clubs) bidding against each other so one can basically say I have more money than you and I've got the better collection... May I also quote VB:
"This is a Great Hobby that does not cost 1300 per lure
Most of the people I know who collect are doing if for the fun, and new people they meet not as a investment !!!!!!
That should be rule # 1
Please remember to have fun don't break the kid's piggy bank for a 3inch chunk of wood, God only knows what tomorrows finds will be"

To each his own, but I would rather just make an accurate copy of the plugs and fish em...that's would be my enjoyment!

End of rant!! Hope to make it to Plugfest and meet everyone.
