What would you pay for a 2oz.-3oz. bm[beachmaster] needle? and 2oz. bm atom..just wondering what you think would be a fair price [not] e-bay prices.

$18-$20 thats it nothing more.What sucks is the guys reselling these plugs are making more then the guy building them.this e-bay s%$# will only help drive the plug prices up which imo has already happened some what.

[capesams]

well! I'm to understand that bm wholesale price now is like 15-17.00..so the shop's need to make something...

[shadow]

like I said prices are going up is it becuase of e-bay or just infaltion?maybe alittle of both?I have dannys that were 18$ and a-40s that were $20 I guess those days are gone.

His Atom 40's are going for 20 bucks I bought a couple of them last
summer at a tackle shop

OK...and if the shops around you didn't carry any bm's at all...would you go abit higher to have one/some that you'd like without having to spend all your lunch money.

bm needle - 25 bucks - BM atom 30 bucks

When I saw what people where paying for em I dumped them all except one of each model to hang on the wall.

I only fish RM Smith, Tattoo, Big Don and Habs. That covers everything I need.

bobby makes a nice plug but he's not the only one.no way will I buy one on e-bay.I'll fish something else and when he makes more of what I like then I'll stock up at a fair price.

As the price goes up, the number of people that will accept a substitute increases.
A portion of the potential customers of the first-choice product will not go back - the rise of competitors who can meet demand becomes more likely.

i can see a person paying $100 for a plug - if it's a hard-to-obtain item that is going to be cut up and cloned. to somebody buildling their own, a beachmaster metal lipped plug is a wise investment.

now, if you're going to spend $100 bucks and fish the thing, that is farkin stoopid, unless you happen to be bill gates or warren buffet.

[likwid]

I'm gonna sell on ebay a video of a BM going through a wood chipper.

Or I'll just post it here.

That's the way to do it. Most styles will come around again, with time.

I'm amazed people part so easily with some plugs. A 3 oz. Beachmaster Musso wad might as well be irreplaceable. Obviously the seller never took it fishing. Even at $50 or so it's far more valuable to me ready to fish then cashed out on eBay...

[cow tamer]

You'ld think for that kind of money that the seller would at least throw in a couple of hooks.
