Guy said "Them traps are to old and small to be worth much".... Music to my ears... I didn't even haggle.. And they all cleaned up real nice.

I thought that 0 kangaroo might be worth something but the book price on the Kompact 0 must be a misprint....

The guy was correct, they are not worth much. To make you feel better I will pay you back and pay shipping.

Dang good find! Just what did you pay?

Probably not worth the gas you spent to drive to the yard sale. I'll cover shipping if you want to send them to me. smile

I bought a Kompakt #1 that looks to be in the same condition as yours. Was $5.00 a deal or is that what they are worth. I was just figuring on using it.

I don't dare say the price. These will be going with to the Minnesota Trappers convention tomorrow and might get traded. And there is a good possibility it will be a T-man member involved in the deal.....

I think the Kompakt #1s are pretty common and the book price reflects that.... But apparently the #0 isn't very common.... That or my price guide has a misprint.

$5.00 is about the going price for a # 1 Kompact, unless it is super, super nice. If it has any flaws at all, it would be a user trap, in my opinion.

#0 Kompact are more difficult to find and thus worth more.

Dustin, I heard rumor that some guy from Festus, Missouri has pretty much cleaned out all the collector traps in Missouri and a few nearby states.

LOL Dale, I'm starting in the lower end of Minnesota tomorrow and working my way up. I have heard that antique rare collector traps are thick as hair on a dogs back up around Deer River.

That is true Dustin, but a trip to Kalamazoo will help a little.
