I have some longspring traps I want to put up for sale. What is a fair price for user condition #2, #3 and #4. The 2's are victor, b&l and triumph. The 3's are victor and b&l. A few are cast/offset. The 4's are victor and b&l also. There is a #3 victor jump also. I just want to ask a fair price. Here are some pictures.

In this current, high price beaver market
$15.00 apiece wouldn't be out of line for
the #4's if they are strong, complete, &
and are in good working order.

$12.00/$13.00 for the #3's in similar condition.

$12.00 to $13.00 for the #3 jump.

$5.00 to $7.00 each for the #2's IMO.

Thank you Walleyed.

Some don't have chains, otherwise they are all in working condition.

Had around 40 #4's at a couple
NYS Trapping Rendezvous this
past season and sold every one I had.

Sold #4 Victor and Blake & Lamb jumps
for $14.00 to $15.00 apiece as well.

Any style & kind of big beaver Iron
was flying off the Tailgate as fast you
could uncover it and that includes
old, used, #330 sized conibears
at $14.00 to $15.00 each.

It's a good time to sell used beaver traps.

Those are decent prices. Sounds like I did pick a good time to sell. I have had these for years and always thought I would use them but they just sit in totes. I have 3 #4 newhouse, thinking of keeping those for nostalgia.

Not sure how much longer those prices will be still obtainable
as some are forecasting a drop in beaver prices some time
this year, if & when the beaver felt market drops off.

All I know is brand beaver new traps, even foreign built ones
are very expensive and unless you want big coil springs,

New double long springs are no longer made, generally
unobtainable, and are a real bargain used at those prices
so hence, it is a sellers market.

Walleyed - $12.00 to $13.00 on a #3 jump is very high (in my opinion). A good #3 jump is a $8.00 to $10.00 trap. Your price would be appropriate for a #4 jump. Just saying.

With Pre-high beaver prices in a normal market I would agree with you.

But with inflation hitting trappers who buy new,
escalating shipping costs, and unreliable delivery options,
people are willing to pay more, especially face to face.

I'm just relating what's been going on here in NYS
with prices for used, old stock, american made traps
suitable/usable for beaver.

I'd like to see the pics of the 4 Newhouse...even if they aren't for sale!
I have a handful myself and like to take them to Wyoming beaver trapping.

Gary I will post a picture of them tomorrow morning. I didn't take a picture of them today, they are out in the pole barn.

Thanks man

It looks like the 3 Victor traps in the second picture are 3Ns, so worth more than regular #3s.

Here's a picture of the new house traps.

Good looking steel coyote1....chains are not original but a guy has to wonder...how much fur have those traps caught?

Thank you. I like those traps!

I wonder that everytime I hold an old longspring. One thing I can tell you is I haven't caught anything in them. Lol

You are welcome. They are cool well made traps.

Not trying to high jack your post, I ran into some traps today that I could never use in Florida. All are older #1 or #1 1/2 size…. I would like to post them on the trap shed, but have no idea of pricing. If someone could PM me I can send pictures.
