How Much Would You Spend on Used Baits?

[papajoe222]

I just have too much bass tackle and I finally decided to sell off a bunch. I don't plan on pricing each bait individually, but in lots of three, or five baits.  I was thinking 3for$10 for cranks and jerkbaits, 5for$12 on spinnerbaits and buzzers. If you were checking out a flea market, garage sale, or answering an add on social media, would you consider purchasing used baits? If so, would those prices be attractive to you?

I've bought used baits. Buying depends on the make, condition, and sometimes, again depending on the bait, will only buy from folks I trust, especially spendy type baits.

Having good quality pics of the baits helps too.

I’ve acquired numerous hard baits and reels from members here. Consider the current MSRP and age of the bait.

As a general rule, I pay half the price of what it costs to buy the same bait new.

As a somewhat frequent bait seller here in the BR Flea Market, 

it has been my experience that prices can vary wildly from bait to bait or lot to lot.

Not a bad thing, just that baits can be 'worth' more or less to each basshead. 

Seems that goes for tackle as well (rods & reels).

Pre-fished baits in 'good condition' usually sell quickly with prices set @30% of the MSRP.

Prices over @50% or more often take longer.

This is a Flea Market after all. 

If I really want to move items, a price that reflect that is helpful.

Vintage or collector baits are a separate deal altogether. 

The equalizer is the 'shipping'.

Both Buyers & Sellers often factor that into the overall price per bait or lot.

Really comes into play shipping rod tubes - ouch. 

I use USPS Flat rate Priority for bait lots, it's just easier for me.

Make the labels at home - Click & Ship. 

btw - PayPal Rules.

Good Luck

There are a few baits that retain their price well due to demand de jeur, for all others, no more than $2. We go through a bunch of them each year on our donated tackle for our non-profit.

Thanks everyone.

If the lures are common, still production and in good condition 25-30% of retail is a fair price.

If the lures are no lake longer in production, sought after colors and in good condition you can get close to original price, a few lures like wooden swimbaits you need to check the value.

Remember to add shipping cost and payment method.

2 years ago I sold hundreds of lures to BR members because I wanted to share hard to find lures at a fare price in lieu of selling on eBay.

Another thing to consider is time of year. A lot of baits you try to sell today for $30 may not sell.  List them for $40 in January and they will sell right away.

I have bought many jerkbaits and crank baits at garage sales and i offer $2-3.00 per lure.
