If it is a # 14 jump, then the price is on the very upper end. Everything else is priced like you would expect for an antique store - very high. Divide their price by 2 (maybe even 3) and you would be in the ball park. Nice pictures though, thanks for sharing. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

The prices seems real high to me but till just recently I've had no interest in trap collecting so I didn't really know. Any good price guides out there I should invest in before I start buying collector traps? Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

The book also includes their bear trap price guide. Lots of pictures and other useful information. A very good reference book, but as with any price guide, it should be used as a GUIDE. Good Luck and have fun with your new addiction. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

The prices paid are listed in the next issue. There are no set prices on collectable traps IMO. Oh yeah...thanks for posting.
