Top end lure market is red hot

Post by Mike N »

A seller listed 17 Charmer lures (aka barber pole baits) this morning on Joe’s site, and all 17 sold in less than 12 hours at premium prices. The listed total was over $25,000. Someone should buy the former Langs Auction business….

I agree the market is strong for the high end. Not sure why anyone didn't move on the Langs brand, but I guess that it is an ongoing conversation. Seems like a big missed opportunity, but it is a lot of sweat. Requires a unique individual or team. If there is an offering here, it is not obvious.
