Piranha 76 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 thanks very much for that Chucktseeker might chuck them on e-bay when i get a chance. should i put them in as 'collectable lures' or 'antique lures'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckTseeker 425 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 go do your homework search "ALL!" of Ebay out for these lures, see what others have done, then decide which way you want to go via selling them you could shoot Mr Willy a pm off (he's away on fishing holidays at the mo, back this weekend i think?) as he has a bit of experience with lures and Ebay cheers chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lure crazy 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Gday mate, there are very very few of the floppies around now, there are people out there that will pay hundreds for them. Or keep them, as more and more people collect these days and their value will increase with time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rollcast 1 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Frank Prokop is the lure expert in oz.Contact him at frank@recfishwest.org.auOr try these for info on lures www.lureandmore.comor www.kadaitchaclub.orgmost old floppys have a problem with the plastic on the bib dissolving ,if this is not happening they are worth more.The original soft ones are worth more than the hard bodies which came later.I would put them on ebay as they will attract much higher bids in an international market.They are worth a small fortune if you still have the original packaging.Good luck ,keep us posted and let us know what you get for them.

Piranha 76 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks for that guys Rollcast, i've been in touch with Frank and he was very helpful, but the info was that the floppys have taken a big dive in value especially used ones like mine.they are in ok condition, the bibs are fine apart from one that has a burn mark and another has the nose plug fallen inside the lure.i will investigate putting them on ebay cheers wes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
