Lure Crank
When It’s Too Cold to Fish, Shop
Committing to put up my boat for the winter is difficult. Past winters always brought a few late warm spells when I could squeeze in one more trip on the Chesapeake.

What to charge for bass fishing lures?
I used to be into bass fishing big time. I eventually grew tired of it and sold my boat. I still have a lot - like several hundred crank baits and spinner baits and thousands of soft plastic worms, lizards, etc. A large majority are brand new and some are still in original packaging. My wife and her family are planning a garage sale and I thought I might try to sell them, but I'm unsure as to what to price them at. I was thinking maybe 50 cents for the crank baits and spinner baits, and 25 cents for the bags of soft plastics. Would that be reasonable? Some of these lures cost 4 to 5 dollars new. I want to price them low enough to sell, but I don't want to give them away either. Any bass fishermen out there with any ideas? Thanks.
I work at a sporting goods store. Every summer we have a sidewalk sale. Lures that we cannot sell we put for sale at substantial discounts. Discontinued lures also. These lures are still in their packages.
We sell them for $2.00 to $.50 a piece. We move the $1.00 and $.50 lures first, and FAST!!! The $1.50 and $2.00 lures go last and on the last day, we lower those prices to try to get rid of our inventory.
We sell a bag of soft plastics for no more than $1.00 a bag, I don't think you'll get much out of your soft plastics.
The larger lures (3 1/2 inch lures +) you may get $2.00 out of, but all the smaller ones you probably won't get what you would like.
The name of a lure will definitely help you get more, but in the end, everyone is looking for a bargain.
Good luck.
