You can pick up some really good buys for ice fishing gear after the season ends. Last year I got two extra sets of blades for my Lazer 6", and a brand new auger as well. Didn't really need it, but it was just too good a deal to pass up. Have also purchased a couple vintage amps for my harp playing; and a killer microphone for 37.00. Not only was it worth three time that, it has the sound I love. Just be carefull buying old stuff like that. If the buyer won't agree to take it back if there is a problem; don't do it! Oh, also picked up a couple jigging rods. One needed to be re-tipped and I re-did a guide, but it was well worth it.
