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.

Beaver dam tip up collectors
Anyone that collects Beaver D would be my guess. The less that it was made increases the value significantly. It's the same for vintage lures with color. Get one that wasn't produced much, and the value goes through the roof! What I would really like to know was the engraving done by Beaver D or did LL have a second party do it. It was probably Beaver D that did it making it original. I see that D Smith bait customizes tip ups and those seem to always bring a good value on Ebay. They just made a 40th anniversary for the bait shop. I wish I had gotten one. I'm just guessing here Fish, but that thing could be worth a surprising amount.
Already over $200.
Besides Lake-Link users, who else would be interested in a special edition Lake-Link Beaver Dam tipup? I won it at one of the ice fishing outings they used to have. Special meaning to me, because it was held on my birthday, so my birthday is engraved on the tipup....pretty cool I think! I've never used it, I just take it out of the box to look at it once in a while. :-)
I’m not sure. I bought one lol. It’s definitely crazy. I don’t think they will be like anniversaries or those metal embossed boards.
Surf,
On eBay right now a mint 25yr with the box’s is up to $81. Condition is really important on value maybe could have gotten more on eBay?
