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? 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 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 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.

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. You always say that... I think I'm starting to see a pattern here. At least I'm offering to give you your money back and pay shipping. LOL

I was just figuring on using it. $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.

only thing I ever find at a garage sale are pants that are 3 sizes too small. Good find Dale! 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.

I bought a sparrow trap for $10.00 this weekend. The guy was pretty amazed that I knew what it was. LOL I'm not sure I will ever use it but it is a good conversation piece. I passed up a $30-330 and some $5 to $10-110's. I did almost buy some $4 BMI 1 1/2 coilsprings. This is not an actual picture of it but one I found on the internet.

Heaven's NO there are great finds each day, they all seem to be in MO. and Minn. Haven't even heard of a good trap getting found in Iowa. You guys need to quit spreading rumors again. I don't what to start any rumors.... But...I heard tell there is a barn full of old traps near Osage Iowa....And you will be tripping over Nisbets, Cortlands, and Dwights just to get to the good stuff....

Come on now, you don't see any pictures on here from me, of course I would have to know how it's done first. No Nisbets, Cortlands, or Dwights, here I certainly would not pass them up if you guys were to send some my way. I have seen them but they were not in the state of Iowa. certainly not in my barn anyway! Diggerdale it was good to see you over the weekend, but it seems to me you were the one carrying around the bargains, sorry but I didn't bring anything home with me. Please don't feel sorry for me! Kevin, I will see you soon enough, thanks for the grief.
