Not being in the know about call makers, why is this box call so highly valued?

Lets see..... the seller is from Memphis sooooo I wonder if that is Frank himself trying to catch someone stupid enough to pay $6500 for one of his calls. (http://www.texas4x4.org/images/smilies/smokin.gif)
Good looking box call but $29.00 shipping is ridiculous :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

Ya' think?
The man makes a pretty call. I heard and examined one of his "in-high-demand" trumpets against an unknown call maker buddy of mine and my friend's trumpet was at least as nicely crafted and sounded better.
So, yes he's talented, but he ain't worth $29 shipping! :TooFunny:

That's what I thought. You couldn't give me one of his calls. And that's all I will say about that.

There was another one, over 100 years old, that sold on ebay for $27,000 about 2 months ago.
How much was the shipping on that one??

Yeah, I was watching that one. It was a Gibson that was decorated for a lady. I offered him $26,050 but he wouldn't bite. That thing better get 40mpg for that kinda money..

Don't know what site that may be but I ain't skeered. :boon: :z-bdayparty:
I DID say he was talented... :angel9: I do mean that part, he's better at it than I ever will be. But that's a lot of coin for any turkey call. :o
