How much would YOU pay for a platz glass call

[Happy hooker]

I'm wondering?? If you had a chance to get a platz walnut glass in excellent condition what would be the highest "cash" amount you would go for one.
Like to hear a lot of input,ceilings.

Depends on how bad you want one, they are not readily available, they are top of the line calls. I have a couple but not for sale as of now. 200.00 to 350.00 range.

The same price as a Shaffer or Roberts. We place demand higher than quality. Many call makers make calls that are the same quality as Platz calls but we have to obtain the calls. Are they any better than a Platz?? I don't know but take away the name on the calls and let's see who can tell the difference? All I am saying is guys will say that certain calls are the best- do you think the turkey says "nope I'm not coming cause that's a call not made by a top shelf maker?" Seriously? Buy the calls you like, hunt the calls you like and just enjoy the hunt! We over emphasize these high end calls to the point we are getting away from what it is all about.

No where close to the numbers mentioned but I am not a collector. Get what you can but do fair market.

Bought few around $175-200. Traded a $250 watkins fiddle for one also. I think a fair price on one is $125-$150. Just my opinion. Supply & demand sets the price, just like everything else.

I just paid $250 for one. Let's see what the hype is about.

If it is over hyped for you when you get it just pm me and I will give you your money back for it.

Nah, only trades for you:)

For me it's not worth it even though I'm a pot call guy. But.. if your really into a call or call makers style then go for it. Case in point. I bought a Buice trumpet because I wanted one again and paid a pretty penny for it but this call has been one of the best moves I have made. Why? Because it just sounds so good I can't put it down. Only you can decide if it's worth it or not and should never feel you need to explain it at any time. Unless the Mrs. find out. Then good luck as she may kill you. LOL

My sentiments exactly. I have a few Platz calls and I'd never pay high dollar for em. They're good yes. Not anymore so than many others. Good post!

How much would I pay? $0. The difference in a MAC or Schaeffer isn't $100 or more dollars. I understand why folks pay what they pay, but I've listened to the sound files and it's just not $100 dollars better to me

If you want one bad, have the money for it ,and the family isn't going without buy it and I wouldn't care what anyone else thought.
How much would I pay More than the next guy if I wanted it bad enough.
Like others have said it's pure supply and demand. I've spent money a'lot more foolish and I'm sure you have also without the chance to ever get money back if one ever wanted to do so.The way I am it will be when I'm toes up and my kids choose to do so.
