Title: Traps In Chewelah
Post by: Southpole on February 23, 2024, 09:39:23 AM: Traps at an estate sale today. I think they were reasonably priced but I’m not sure.

Yeah, I’m not familiar with trap prices but I didn’t think $20 for large traps were high and then the medium and smaller were $10 and $5 :dunno: .

People are posting used clothes on here for more than what they probably were new. Its tough. I probably would have blown a bunch of money eventhough I have a couple 50 gallon drums worth of traps.

Post by: buckcanyonlodge on February 23, 2024, 03:55:16 PM: I as there today and yeah the prices for the traps are higher than an estate sale price. The 110 conibears are cheaper at North 40. They should be 1/2 price tomorrow. I might go to see what is left. Looks like most of the jump traps were made in Korea. I got a few tools and a little fishing stuff. The wife got some ebay inventory.

What time were you there? We got there at 8:20 and it was a zoo! There wasn’t any smokin’ deals there that’s for sure.

Post by: buckcanyonlodge on February 23, 2024, 07:52:16 PM: I was there about 7:45 and they were already letting people in. If I go back tomorrow I can check sizes on any traps left over. I do have the number of the company doing the estate sale if you want the number.....

Why conibears? What would you trap with then?

Pretty high for used but not extensively modded Dukes. For a few bucks more a guy could get cast MB 550/650
