How Would You Buy Soft Plastics?

Featured Replies

I am going to list a bunch of extra soft plastics I have in the classifieds once I get a count on them. They are all new in unopened packages. Random assortment of brands/style/color. How would you guys recommend listing them?

here is some ideas i have, which would you guys buy?

set a price for a random assortment of like 10 bags? You spend less than normal and get a random assortment. I could do groups of 5, 10, 15, 20 etc with the price decreasing as it goes higher.  

 

list them all and set a price for each bag, group them into $1, $2 etc depending on the value of the baits. This would be a pain as the list would be very long, I would probably have to PM it to everyone interested. 

 

group the baits by type and sell them together. Example i have 5 bags of brush hogs sell them all together regardless of color.

 

Hope this is ok to ask here. I didn't want to list them, and have no one interested in the way I was trying to sell them, and have to change the format and take up more room in the classifieds. Thought i would get your input first.

 

Ideally I would like to sell them as fast as possible to save on shipping, and avoid making a trip to the post office everyday with one or two bags.

List them how you would want to buy them say you were browsing the classifieds.

All the details. Size, color, brand etc. Don't charge an arm and a leg. Factor in the cost of shipping with the price of the baits. Don't charge extra for shipping. You can fit about 5-6 bags of plastics in a flat rate small Priority Box for around 5 bucks.

The more they buy, the better the savings. For me, when I buy plastics, I want a good deal if I'm going to buy them 2nd hand. If I'm only saving a few bucks on them, I'd rather go to a major retailer and buy them. I have a guarantee that if they are messed up or dried out etc, I can exchange them. Plus at most places I get reward points for buying them.

Just some food for thought!

This is how I would sell them. I'll also suggest pricing them at about 60% of retail.

Ah... OK well i have some culprits listed right now. And I have some trick worms, and U-tale worms that i will be listing next week. 

If any one wants to buy a BUNCH of soft plastics PM me or if your interested in soft plastics at all feel free to PM me I can make a deal for you. I don't want to list them all in the classified since the classifieds are more a garage sale type place. So I am only listing 3 small groups in the classifieds to abide by the rules. I figure listing three small groups is following the rules, especially since I'm pricing them cheaper than I can sell elsewhere. Figure i might as well pass some savings on to the guys who have helped me in many ways.
