Beaver dam tip up collectors

Crazy prices for anniversary tip ups on ebay. Normally 45th selling for around $300. Last night 1 sold for $670. Lake-link  fishing contest 1 went for $395. 50th for $175. 40th at $255 now. Good time to make some extra cash if you need it.

So it looks like the pink camo sold for $ 450. Was watching it on ebay, this morning it says sold 450. What the heck

I'm always amazed at some of those prices on Ebay! Most of those that go on sale there were probably bought for pennies on the dollar at garage sales then quickly put on Ebay for a profit!
I bought one of the newer Beaver Dam tipups when they went on sale towards the end of the year.  It won't be worth anything after I'm done with it though.  I bought it for my daughter so she could customize it anyway she wants.  I stripped the finish off it and bought some paints in her favorite colors.  Just a fun way to get her more interested in ice fishing with me!

Someone trying to sell orange and pink camo for opening bid of $450 and $500 on ebay.  There's no way somebody would pay that. Lol

Chief,

This is one of the original Beaver Dam Tipup prototypes. Some of the metal parts were cast in the Monarch Stove company. The spool was made from a typewriter ribbon reel. Any yes, it still works. Anyone else have one of these and does anyone have a guess what it would be worth? 

Right! I bought 3 of those for my daughter and 3 of the fire tigers for the other daughter. I wonder if they would notice if they were switched out??lol

I've got 2 of the penguin's. At that price I'm very tempted to sell them. 

It's insane how much they going for. Same guy selling , made over $1300 on 4 tip ups

Boy was I wrong. Those violators are on fire. $360 currently for the penguin. 

The Violators are listed by the same seller. I'm guessing the seller put the opening bid. Total of 3 listed all at $250 with 1 bid.  Would not be surprised if they come up for sale again.

More crazy prices. Blue board with orange flag sold for $401 on ebay. Violator series opening bids at $250 and have bids. Fleet farms 60th anniversary sold for a crazy amount last week. Forgot to check final price

Looking for the beaver dam tip up cribbage board.  If anyone has one please contact me.  It would mean a lot. 

It's metal. But the whole tipup shows many years of wear as I have used it for 50 years. Everything is original on it and I never rermember greasing it but it still spins like a top.

Does it have a metal tag around the flag post or a sticker? If its metal, it increases the value greatly.

I have a Beaver Dam tipup where the original wood color is an OD (Olive Drab) green. My brother bought it new in either the 50's or 60's. Any info on that color?
