How much should I offer for this stuff?

[earthdirt]

I've been kind of a mooch over the years and I don't own much of my own gear. This past fall a nice older lady down the street offered for me to buy some ice fishing stuff she had laying around. I have not yet bought it, mostly because I don't know what a fair price would be, but I'd like to get it so I can take the kids out. What would you recommend as a fair price to offer? There's several junky old cheap traps in various states of disrepair, and a seven newer nice ones ones including six heritage lakers. There's also an old folding hand auger, a couple ice scoops, an aquarium net, and an old pack basket with several broken bit around the bottom. I've put some pictures up, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

50 bucks

I'd say 80 would a fair price 20 for the basket 10 for each laker trap

[Bottle_O_Moxie]

$90.
Think of what it would cost to replace the nicer items there. 
(lakers, scoops, pack liner, folding auger, etc.)

50 is more then fair

Thar bait net is sweet.

$50....  Yard sale price.  You both will be happy.

[Slammin_Brookies!!]

$50 right now. Wait until December 2015 and you can get $100

I'd give her 50 bucks for those two gas cans.

$50 is all the money. You have to repair the basket & the hand auger is no more than an anchor.

Don't forget to pay a use tax. You are supporting a lot of people.

I take it your not a fan of the new style spill proof push nozzle pieces of crap cans

75 is fair. That's a $10 value on the heritage traps, 15 bucks for the rest. Those heritage with a metal reel are far superior to the new traps with plastic reels that go for 20 (without line I may add) the other traps aren't much, but I've got some similar to use as loaners. It won't take much to get them working. That basket looks in good shape as well.

50 would be a steal, 75 is fair.

When I saw the pictures the first thing I noticed was the gas cans too. Big brother is controlling everything we do and it isn't good.

I'd bet the blades on the hand auger are dull and need replacing or resharpening. There is no cover on the blades to keep them from getting dull. I like the green grass in the picture backgound, but I'm sure it isn't from this "spring"!

50 for the ice stuff and another 20 on the gas tanks, I hunt those at yard sales now just for the old nozzles. The only thing worth anything are the Heritage traps, the rest you have to repair or mess with to bring back to life.

Yep, and you can get the blades sharpened for free in some places or pay $10 in others.  Then you have a nice FOLDING auger that is good for early season anywhere or to easily pack in a sled for remote fishing. 
Not sure why some folks see that as having little or no value. 
The trap liner is probably in good shape and the basket is still worth doing minor repairs to.  Give it to a kid and now he has one until he can afford to buy himself a new one someday.
Any useable scoop is worth 7-8 bucks apiece.

Remember guys and gals, this guy said the owner was a nice old lady too.    Would you want someone to approach your mother and offer her a low price for your gear? 

I know some people can and will buy stuff at yard sales for rock bottom prices - but this isn't a yard sale - it's someone he knows.

I still don't see more then 50.00  for the works

[IM-POUNDING- R -U]

There is more than 100$ worth of stuff .   Do you really think the person who once used that stuff would sell it that cheap?  A fellow Iceman that passed.
Bad Luck if you rip off  the spouse of a once fellow IceFisherman. Thats my 2 cents.

I have spilled more gas since the government knew how to do it.

agree 100%

[fishermantim4]

I would offer atleast 80 traps aren't cheap ones. But all prolly need new line and auger needs blades. Even if she wanted more you wouldn't be getting a bad deal

[earthdirt]

Thanks for all the advice everybody!
