Inflation digging in its heels on this one. A Bob Dixon Vest is on EBay now: Highest bid is $4,650.00 with a few days left, "Buy it Now" for $10,000. Here's the big news, reserve has NOT been met. Wish I never sold mine.....
Just cause you think something is worth a certain amount does not mean it is.

100% agreed. Interesting to see what it ends up to be if the owner lets it go.....
That's crazy. Only a foolish guy would spend even close to that in my book.
I totally don't get the whole Dixon vest thing......... :z-dizzy:
eBay is insane along with the scarcity minded buyers. Someone just off loaded a knight and hale RNG 300 for $275 + shipping.
Everything is worth what buyer will pay! 4K to you is $4 to someone else. Supply and demand baby

It's all drop culture marketing. Nothing special about it other than the perception of scarcity by the consumer.
Every time I see something like this my first (and last) thought immediately returns to that old mantra,..."Some people just have more money than they have got sense". ;D
Sometimes I wish I fell into that category...I think I would be willing to trade...for a while, at least...
...Then again, it might be hard to make that trade when a guy doesn't have anything to trade with... ::) ;D
I hope he gets 20K for it, and the buyer is happy as well. :funnyturkey: :OGturkeyhead: Z
Everything is worth something to somebody, somewhere. I say more power to them. I ain't about to try and tell another fellow what to do with his money.

WOW! I've got a RNG 200 that I'll let go for a whole lot less than that. It's been in the woods once and the cushion didn't even hit the dirt because I use a chair.

For us average rural people that is a lot of $$$$$$! The wealthy supporter that is a drop in the bucket! Like someone said earlier supply and demand meet collectability.
I'm sure clever accountants can hide these kind of "donations." Evidently it's become harder to do but there is such a thing called "working the system." A good accountant is worth his weight in gold, especially for very wealthy business owners. It's the American way, the business of America is business.

I don't think it takes a clever accountant to write such an auction item off. The NWTF is a 501 (C)(3) charitable organization so anything purchased at any of their auctions is a "charitable donation" above the fair market value of the item.
Like I said I "think" that's the deal. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last month.
Well , the way I see it is if they got the money to spend and they want it , go ahead. We only live once and you sure can't take it with you. If that brings someone joy , who am I to criticize? Myself would never entertain that kind of money on a vest. Wouldn't matter if I had it or not. Just my outlook.
Not that it changes things for me but was that a Mr Fox #70 or a Mr Fox #7 that came with all of the calls?

For certain. Look at the prices on "collector" cars these days. Absolutely nuts but if you got the $$$ and like them, good on ya. Check this from sometime just recently

The auction closed at 1300 EST with a high bid of $5,200.00 and reserve not met. It was relisted seconds later.

Along those lines... I ran into an old high school buddy who won a million in Vegas. Came back to Michigan and bought some land and two years later an oil company discovered he was sitting oil. Same guy is divorced and neither his kids or siblings don't talk to him. As he was telling me his story I was (maybe) a bit envious. Until he got to the last part.
