You got yourself a good one there but unless you need a couple car payments I'd hang on to it. Have to find the right buyer willing to spend about 1500 to 2 g's. I'm sure there is one out there.

1978
I would like to hear the story of how you ended up with that?
It's a keeper for sure.
:drool:
They have been in my family for years. I've sold about 30 calls locally and online in the last few months. Call makers like Steve Mann , Neil Cost , Jack Burrus , Dan Searcy , and many others. :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an
Where is our chance to buy some? Nice callers you seem to have.
The 1994 call is worth at least a grand if you have proof it's real. That's my bid.
Great site you guys have here. Have been selling on ebay mostly. Have 2 on there right now. QB KILLIN MACHINE and a Albert Paul call. Haven't really decided what I'm going to do with the Neil Cost calls. Would take some serious offers to get my attention.
A grand is a serious offer, they are not bringing what they once were. It does make it more valuable that it was a personal call. Cost calls are bringing from $650 to about $900 at this time. The $1500 a call for short boxes have passed at the moment. May come back some day. We'll see.
Thanks for the info . I just noticed one that sold last month very close to mine. According to the seller it sold within 3 hours .buy it now price of 1500.00 . The difference between mine and the one on ebay is that mine was for Neils personal use. A step up for sure. Thanks for any and all info guys
:smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an The Neil Cost call from 1978 will be coming up for sale soon. Along with some Neil Cost books. Keep an eye out on here and ebay. Might try out the classified section and see what kind of offers come in.

Might wanna read classifieds rule #9 under "Turkey Calls".............. :-)
Just sayin'............
I'm guessing your talking about price. Green section of the rules? A price will be set once it goes in the for sale section or on ebay. Posting on this site was for one reason to help out any serious buyers who collect Neil Cost calls. I've watched these calls for years for my father. With any collectible the prices have went down. With that said Neil's calls still bring serious money across the board . The older or more rare demand top dollar. Like any collectible .Anyone who wants info is more than welcome to pm me. I'm new to the site but not new to selling calls. And I have the feedback to backup what I sell. That's not a problem. :anim_25: on everyone's collecting and hunting this year. :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an
Still no price? ???
Just went off eBay at 1201. I knew it wasn't gonna sell for 1,750. Told you ;D
If he would have gotten ahold of me in the beginning I probably would've given 1500.00
but not after it was paraded for months. Didn't even bid. Lol.
.
That call ended up being sold/traded locally. It was a Neil Cost call that was signed by him and made for someone else. It went locally in the 1400.00 range. I posted it for sale on ebay once and it went to alittle over 1200 but didn't meet my reserve. Buy it now was set at 1750.00 reserve was set at 1500.00 . I kept it for a little longer and then struck a deal loacally. After that I'm sure it was sold again.
As far as the second call goes I still own it. It's Neil Cost personal use call signed to himself. One of his personal hunting calls. A step up in value for sure. This call could be bought also if the price was right and if it's going to the right collector . Save up your money GG . I'm sure you will find another call in your price range. Good luck. Have a good one guys. Happy hunting.
I wish you the best of luck with your call. I told you a long time ago the market wasn't what it used to be but maybe you will prove everyone telling you the same thing wrong. Ya never know you may find d someone who really wants a call like that. If yours brings alot maybe I'll test the waters with my matched set. Doubt it though. Good luck once again
Couple individuals are to blame for the price of cost calls, but either way if it aint hitting the woods it aint worth a $1000 plus dust collector.
90% of my calls have hit the woods. With that being said... I wouldn't call the other 10% dust collectors. They're more like investments to me. To each his own I guess
And that's what they are for, the woods. By saying investments, were they bought in hopes of some return one day?
This is just for conversation. I respect to each his own
I started my collection in hopes for one day I can pass them along to my kids and them to theirs. They're only going to go up in value so yes someday someone will get a return. Certainly noone laughed when Earl Mickels collection sold. My Cost and Searcy calls have never seen the woods. Probly never will
Neil made and signed dozens of his calls that way. He told me that he did that on the calls that were considered his premium sounding/playing callers. I had several now just the one personalized to me.
