Plug Hysteria.......
......is at an all time hight now. One example: http://cgi.ebay.com/BEACHMASTER-NEED...QQcmdZViewItem
Based on auctions like this I'll be heading into the surf with 2000 bucks in my bag. I'm going to have to start carrying some protection  |

I find myself amazed confused and a little put off by the prices people are paying for plugs right now.
I am also thinking about maybe putting some Beachmasters up for auction myself  |

Interesting... Maybe guys are unloading them because other builders are starting to make that type needle. The market will have plenty available in the near future.

You can probably walk into a certain shop in SE Mass right now and pay the same
It wasn't too long ago you could walk into about 6 different shops on LI and buy all the Beachmasters you wanted, for under $20 a plug. I remember paying 2 for $25 at a show for his Atom Jrs. |

Same buyer (tmtmv) we saw in the Mac thread a few weeks ago.
Perhaps they're just laundering money?
Also, why would Beachmaster paint and finish the plug before drilling the eye holes? The mark that's there is just the point of the forstner bit. Actually, does that plug even look like it has the thick clear coat.
Looking at ebay for recent Beachmasters, most are going for market value. 90% of those sold by this seller were won by the same buyer who only bought one other plug. Makes little sense to me.

If we're thinking of the same shop they've been out of the needles for a few months and I could see not being able to get them again for a reasonable price unless they do another run a couple years down the line. |

tmtmv's bidding history is ridiculous.

It must be nice to be born with a silver printing press, I mean a silver spoon in your mouth.
