Seriously, you HAVE to admit that, while $91 may be a bit steep for plug (I DID admit that it WAS steep - but I still wanted it anyway!) the current selling price for this Russo is waaaay outta line UNLESS the fellow is a pure collector and is planning on just putting it behind a glass case, in which case it may be about right. I have no idea what a Russo should go for.
We have to stop applying our own set of rules to what bidders do. Poeple buy lures (or ANYTHING, for that matter) for different reasons. Some buy for fishing (like me), some buy for collecting, some do both. When is a plug for fishing considered "overpriced"? That could be debated forever. If you make your own, then I would imagine the price would have to be very low for you to consider a plug priced "about right". If you don't, but still want a hard-to-find plug to fish with, you have to be willing to pay for it. What should a collector's plug be priced at? That depends completely on how much people are willing to pay for it.
Different strokes for different folks. For some it's brand x, y and z - but for most of my purchases, it will be
