RRocket Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Interesting. Wonder if these were hand made by Namiki imself? Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 Dollars to donuts they thought they were putting in the price as yen. 2 Quote

wvhunt Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I sent the seller an offer of $800 shipped, but he may block me for low balling 6 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 At that price, you'd be crazy not to get 4. 4 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 I think these are the old OSP spinnerbaits, maybe the original version. Also, the item is listed as used. I believe they are rare but the listing is a cash grab. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 Yen to USD is 5.69. I'm guessing the seller is selling in the wrong currency. Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 Some squid bought a banana taped to a wall for a million bucks so this is peanuts. 4 Quote
Hogs_n_Logs Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Jokes aside this guy probably meant to type 12500yen and typed 125000. I dont think even the biggest OSP/Namiki fanboy in Japan would buy it for 12500yen though hence why hes trying his luck on the international market haha Quote
MediumMouthBass Posted February 18 Posted February 18 More than likely the guys who commented he put the wrong price are right. But on that auction site specifically theres been many times people put something for sale for an absurd price knowing no person would ever buy it. Except the one person they sold something else to in person but needed a legitimate sale to show the IRS for how they made the money. So you never know. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 Do you get a free NRX+ with it? Quote
Rockhopper Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I ordered one. Can't wait to show you all the world records I catch this year. 2 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 18 Super User Posted February 18 I would hope the price is a mistake. Ain't no way I'm making payments on a spinnerbait. Quote
RRocket Posted February 19 Posted February 19 All joking aside, fishing culture in Japan is on another level. Most fishing company CEOs are household names for fisherman there (and JDM fanatics worldwide). Some of these guys are rock stars! They're on TV, weekly pod casts, magazines, etc (there's glossy, color magazines dedicated to nothing other than fishing lures in Japan! ) Namiki is certainly one of the better known and beloved CEOs (he started OSP). He's responsible for some of the greatest JDM lures ever made. And he's definitely fish crazy. His college thesis was on bass fishing! In the US, you may have seen him on The Hook Up Tackle's channel. Always fascinating to hear his mindset on why he created a bait the way he did. So if this was a special handmade spinnerbait by Namiki, I could (somehow) see it commanding such a price....though I do agree with others in thinking this was just a price typo. If you think those is steep, you should see the price of some of the Japanese swim baits made by artisans there! 4 figures... 2 Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 19 Author Super User Posted February 19 The funny thing is that I have one of these spinnerbaits in my garage. Mine is a different color but the same bait. Hoping its not a $800 bait as I already tore it apart to make a mold. Allen 1 1 Quote
