Very interesting tintin. I'm wondering what their reply will be, if he/she replies! I looked at their other items & found this fishing lure they want $15,000 BIN or starting bid is $4,500! Now I wonder how they came up with that figure?

Martin, you're incredible!
Apparently he has the one with the blue glass beads along with the 7 link gold chain & treble hook. He has a rare lure but I don't know if it is worth $15k! Perhaps it is worth the starting bid but I'm no collecting fisherman. I guess I need to start Googling some of these things that some people want high prices for. I wonder what it is worth?

Yes I was going to comment I don't know about you but I know squat about fishing lures. Maybe it is worth a lot.

It very well might be. I was thinking of showing a guy I know that one. He knows about things like that!

I love to fish, but I'm not in it for the antiques factor... Surely that's just stupidity, if it was really worth that much the guy would talking directly to people interested in it, not putting it on ebay.

Similarly, anyone that serious about fishing antiques (and that cashed up) would be talking to people directly, not trawling (like the pun? ) ebay looking for items that rare. I mean they might be on ebay but not looking for things like that surely... That would be a stumble upon moment.

$15K for a lure? That's a bit mad... I've got some Erik Anton Berg chisels, maybe I should put them up with a BIN for $1K each

Nice pun, Andrew.

I swear, some of these sellers need a one time meeting with a guy named George Maledon. He was an a friend of Judge Isaac Parker.
