Vintage Fishing Lure Collectors: Ebay is Your Best Friend

The headline above should be eBay’s appeal to any collector of vintage fishing lures or tackle. Even if it didn’t serve the function of opening up a huge new marketplace for buyers and sellers of vintage lures who would otherwise have to rely on other methods of finding lures, the vast information source that is at lure collector’s disposal with eBay would still be amazing for that reason alone.

The access to the volume of data on lure values for research purposes and for buying or selling just didn’t exist before eBay came along. With between 10,000 and 20,000 auctions everyday for vintage fishing lures and tackle, eBay provides a key resource for reference to when looking for price data. This type of information in the past had to be found in very small pieces through a small network of friends and collectors or tackle shows. Now by looking through the completed auctions section of eBay and reviewing active listings recent and current sell values can be found. Both of these will be helpful for either buyers or sellers of vintage lures who want to make informed value decisions.

While using vintage lure books and a network of collectors are still valuable resources for learning about pricing methodology, grading, and lure history as well as for other finer detail aspects of collecting vintage lures, eBay is becoming the place to look for up to date price values and trends.

A vintage lure collector should definitely use all resources at his disposal to become educated in the pastime with books, tackle shows, and other collectors serving as information resources that cannot be duplicated by eBay information, but eBay has a definite place that the other resources cannot duplicate.

If you are a collector of any type of vintage fishing lures and tackle including Heddon, Creek Chub, Pflueger, South Bend, Shakespeare, Arbogast, Paw Paw, Rapala, Bomber, or old fly fishing lures, vintage fishing reels, rods, creels, catalogs, or tackle boxes, then you will find items to add to your collection available on eBay.
