I am thinking about getting one of those slick folding sleds. I don't really know what is a good price for one of these.
Are there any good places to look for one?
How much should I be looking for a decent price on one.
Thanks

Is it a good deal?
Any where else to buy these?

I have a fold up sled and like it a lot . I welded a hitch at the back of it so i can tow the Otter, kinda like a train heading out on the ice. I paid $125 for mine and thoght that was about right. There is a little platform at the rear for somebody to stand, When there is 2 or 3 of us going out it is full of gear let me tell ya

Where can I get my hands on something like this what part of the country are you guys in I have a ATC three wheeler and that set up looks like the lightest rig for me to pull.

Looks really nice but pretty $$$$$ !! If you do a search there have been some recent threads of homemade sleds (with pics) that could be made for a fraction of the cost.

That is the closest I could find like the one I am looking at.
Don't really want to post a link to the one I am interested in. Worried someone close to it may snipe it on me. The one I am looking at is $250 and looks alot nicer but is used but in great condition, no shipping cause I am close enough to pick it up.
He says firm on price. I would probably pay $200 but not sure on $250, but didnt know what kind of prices these sleds command.
Thanks

this one is so simple just goggle dog sleds, see what comes up and go from their.

You mean like this??? I stole mine.....well not really but I felt like it, guy needed money and I was in the right place at the right time......... I had been looking at them but didn't want to pay $250 or so for one...........Sides fold down, place for someone to stand on back, works excellent......had an extra hitch so I mounted on the back of the sled and now I just hook the Frabill up and load the sled and away we go.......lol.

We've used one for the past 5 years or so. I really like it. We load it up with gear, tow 2 portables behind it, put 2 up on the 4 wheeler and a third guy standing on the sled and are good to go. I can't believe how much they've increased in price. We bought ours from Cabelas and it was around $150.
-
Yep they're not cheap anymore "but" they are well worth it......so many different options you can do with one.......
-
Well, I bit the bullet and bought the one I was looking at. I probably paid too much, but who cares, it's for icefishing, right!
Here's some pics

your sled looks nice. the one i use is similar- the only problem i have is the rail piece the rider on the sled holds on to will not fold back under pressure but will fold forward and can cause a wipe out for the rider. had to do a little mod to cure that.
The previous owner explained that most folding sleds had that problem. This sled has a drilled hole where a cotter pin goes so once unfolded it cannot fold until the pin is pulled.
