What a mamma luke!
Hasn't this guy ever heard of Tattoo's. Great web site, Mike!!
Spent almost 3 hours there the first time I viewed it. Stellar!
Must be some rich-ass collector with nuttin better to do wit his dough, as no self-respectin' surfcaster with even only an inkling of that "good old yankee resolve" would blow that many clams for a plug, I don't care if it were the last one on earth!!!
Just don't make no cent$!

$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.

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.

I just paid 27 for a BM BI Style needlefish, and that is about as high as I want to go.
I bought it for a prototype to copy and make some of my own.
I have paid 35 for 2 Hab-A-Tats but will never spend that much again, It is just to much for something to catch a fish with.

I think alot of it has to do with "Supply" & "Demand"
Take a look at the recent Musso's & Pichney's ,they are going for well over $100. these days,mostly because they are no-longer made but these HighBidders are pushing it way up then what they really should be priced at..
The lack of inventory and places to purchase a BeachMaster is driving that price up along with the same Ebay Bidders with deep pockets..
In regards to CapeSams question would you go higher to get one of these plugs if you didn't have direct access to them - YES.
I'm quilty of it and have been lucky enough to grab a few last year,but man it's getting crazy now....

Yes - supply and demand.
If you do a Google search for Beachmasters - you'll find vendors, but not vendors with inventory. From a consumer's perspective there might as well not be any vendors if none have stock.
So right now, if you want a Beachmaster, you have not choice but to go to Ebay. It's stupid expensive, but it's the only source.

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. |

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.
