Flasher prices

[pike doctor]

What do you guys think would be the going rate if I wanted to sell my humminbird ICE 45. It is two years old and in really good shape. I am thinking of upgrading to the ICE 55, but I am not going to give mine away. I would just keep it if I couldnt fetch a decent price.

I would take what you paid for it and subtract $100. Makes it a good enough deal for the next guy buying it and you're not out too much since you got 2 years out of it.

Start it around $300.00 then take a offer down to no lower than $250.00. At the $300 price you are at 75% of new and this would be fair.

I heard The birds will give you cancer if you stand to close to them, espically the 45's. I'll take it off your hand for you for FREE cause thats the nice kind of guy I am.....

From what I've seen, they seem to hold their value (all flashers), but I think $250 firm. As soon as they've been used, regardless of 1-5 years, it's still used and $300 for any used flasher maybe tough to pitch, IMO.

Don't sell it too cheap, last fall I got $275.00 for my very first year out LX3, wasn't even a tc but I sold it on the big online action site so the buyers decide what its worth!

My buddy is asking $375.00 for his Ice 55, hasn't been use much.

My best advise it...Try to advertise and sell very soon, before October 1 ...or it will be a much harder sell.

[ROOOOSTERFISH]

Why , people would be looking for them more before ice fishing then after the season.

[Dark Cloud]

Rooster - I believe the new Vex( ) comes out then. And Ed believes all other brands will be obsolete.

[Ed Carlson]

Not exactly, but there are more players, with even more new toys, about to release...before fall. That's my point.

[Dark Cloud]

My bad, just funnin around...

From what I have seen the past 10 years or so, folks havn't had to much of a hard time selling used flashers.

Heck, two years ago I sold my fl-8 from 92' for $75 bucks. I tried giving it to the guy but he left the money on my table when he left. I think I paid $319 all those years ago and all it came with was a power head, bracket, and an old style ducer. I built a Genz Box ala in-fisherman mag in shop class, lol...

wait until january when every retailer seems to be sold out of flashers then put it on the big auction site and watch it go nuts, last year my bro sold a vx1 for 30 bucks more than he just bought if for at retail!!
