The problem a few of the plug makers are not happy with plugs going on ebay and other sites for 2-3 times what they pay for them. They want us to keep our prices down.
Some guy’s claim they are going to fish them and then they are selling for huge profit. Just this week they were selling for
$50-$70 each online & He sells every one he can get.
Then they call me up to see when my next order is coming in.

Would you rather me raise the prices or just limit to 1 per person per order.
I say that because that is all they're purchasing when they order online. You don't have to look far to see who the guys are. I could sell every plug to just 1 guy if he had it his way and I know for a fact he will place them on ebay.

What do you think I should do? Lets hear it

Thanks for thinking of the local fisherman who will use the plugs!

Personally I think that you should not sell them online and keep them for your regulars because we all know that if you sell them on your site they will be on e-bay the day after for twice the price.

Yes, that would be nice. Once in a blue moon I have been able to order , I have bought from e-pay but only because I cant get some any other way. I would only trade and I have with a few from these parts but I figure how much am I going to make selling a plug on ebay? I definitely rather fish them...
