New arrival to Lure Lovers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all,
I have only just found this forum and discovered that people actually collect lures for real, and not the way I used to by buying lures, sticking them in a tackle box and then buying three more to replace every one I lost because I couldn't decide which colour to buy.

The funniest (best) part is that it seems some of my lures are worth more now than what I paid for them.

The big question now is do I have the time, money and dedication to become a real collector or not?

Now to have a good look around the forum and see what you guys are collecting.

Cheers,

Mick.

	You are right John. But you have forgotten to mention your soul is next thing to go. For that one off special that you have to have.

	Thanks for the welcome guys. Once I get my permissions sorted I'll start looking at buying and/or selling some lures. I have an idea what direction I want to head, but that depends on current prices. Only time will tell. Cheers, Mick.
	I don't always buy lures when I visit the tackle shop, oh wait, yes I do.
