Is there a place to trade in used augers on a new one???? I have three augers, all 8",gas magnum 3 plus with single chipper blade, gas tanaka w/ mora type blades, and a mora hand auger (All in running/working order) ...Just wondering if there is a place that would take these on trade so i could get a new strike master solo lazer?

[CrewJones]

well i think strikemaster in Big lake does take trades i seen a ton of augers there that were not there's. Maybe they were all in fore service but I doubt it. give them a call. Or put them all on a-sales-site and get beat up by everyone

[Iambjm]

Why not put up an ad on the HSO classifieds and sell them? Because Strikemaster does not sell there augers new to the public I doubt they take trade-ins for a new one.

I do not know of any places that do this. I would imagine if there is a place that does this you would get better money buy selling them yourself either here or the other online sites. With a trade-in of any type, the company re-selling the product has to make money also so they will give you alot less than they think they can re-sell for.

I think Prince bait in Milaca takes trades

[bogwalker]

L&M In Grand Rapids takes trade-ins.

could you email me some pics of the mag 3 plus. I might be interested if it looks good and is the right price. also have you considered a refurbed strikemaster with the solo motor. I know of a place that has these for $300(magnums, 2HP) & $350 (lazer mags, 2.5HP). I don't believe they have any refurbed lazer pro(3HP). the refurbs are just ones that strikemaster used at ice contests. they take them back to the shop and clean them up and install new blades on them then sells them to this place as refurb. by doing this they are able to pass the savings on to you.

Since you already have the Tanaka why not put a Nils bit on it, I know several that have 25-30 year old or more Tanakas and have never had them in the shop....They all still run as good as my 3 year old one...

Prince bait takes trades.

[gonehunting]

I know Scheels used to but not sure they do it any more. Don't expect to get too much for a trade though. Try the free local online classifieds to sell it. I think you will be much happier.

[Lip_Ripper Guy]

I take anything on trade.

@ brad Not sure what the mag is worth If seen them goin for 100-175 the ones around 100 need work...Does anyone know what the tanaka would be worth? Are these a hot auger to have i dont know much about it, thing has been flawless since i got it! It use to be my gramps, I got it after he passed away a few years back.

I guess right know just tryin to see what things are worth before putting them up for sale to make sure i can have enoght for a new machine....thanks!!!

[Esox_Magnum]

Tanakas are the motors Nils uses on their augers, as near bulletproof as it gets...Hard to put a price on them since you see so few for sale, most keep them forever and hand them down like you got your's, New they are $600+ for the Tanaka and auger, motor alone is $500 new....

[ratherbefishin]

SO any idea what kinda price range i could put this tanaka at? Like i said above it has the mora hand type blades on it....thing does cut great...just was thinking of updating sometime?

[Rebel9921]

Rather... I pretty much have to second what Esox Magnum is proposing that you do... if I was you, honestly, I would sell two other augers and keep the Tanaka one, and contact Nils directly for their auger bit and mate it to the Tanaka... You couldnt go wrong with this set up at all!!!

Consensus on forums lately is that the top two Augers are Nils and Strikemaster Solo... Nils auger bit shouldnt cost you more than $150 and with that, you would have a premier ice auger that would last you for YEARS more if properly maintained...

I'm a Strikemaster owner, dont get me wrong, I love my solo... it gets the job done... but if I was in your position, and I got handed down a Tanaka auger motor, I definitely would keep it and purchase a Nils auger bit and would be very torn every time I go out on which to take with me...

[1johntimm]

Why not mate that Tanaka with a Lazer auger bit, and have choice of auger size from 6-10".

[Surface Tension]

I'd also be hanging onto the Tanaka and putting a Nils on it.

The Mag III is worth $100-$150.

The Mora hand auger with sharp blades $20 or give it to a kid.
