Did the buyer pay for it?

I don't think that's an appropriate question to ask in a public forum or otherwise. Might as well ask, "Did he write a check his a** can't cash?"

I will say that the buyer is someone who has bought several things from me in the past on eBay. They have always been professional and a pleasure to deal with. He'll get the same level of courtesy and professionalism as anyone else who does business with me. No matter the deal or transaction amount.

My opinion ...once you buy something it's YOURS , the ower of the call is exactly that the OWNER , I do however avoid people with constructive intent to flip calls

Like the rest of you , I've purchased stuff ...couldn't use it anymore then sold it to make space,  often at a loss , once in a blue moon things appreciate in value ..like the stock market

To clarify because of comments made elsewhere ...there is NO LIST ANYMORE , there was one many many years ago ...we made announcements...didn't hear back ...then tragically the list fell into a campfire when I reached for a beer ..the rest is a sad story , I shot a gobbler the next morning ..all is right in the universe from that point forward

Ive seen some chirping about people who claimed to be on a list ...you should have spoke up when i made a PUBLIC POST ,  or at least be a active member , it doest hurt to check once in a while -the #1 big red flag for me is you dont even own a call I've made ..and your already causing trouble - hence a full circle back to my point ...THATS WHY I DONT DO LISTS , many or the calls that were sold on the list system , end up being flipped

Again once the call is your property,  it's exactly that YOUR PROPERTY

Well said, and I'm glad to know Murphy's Law follows you around too. The campfire story sounds all too familiar.

It's a very appropriate question. People run stuff up and don't pay all the time to manipulate the market on stuff. I didn't ask for his social and dob.

I'm aware of the shadow bidder scams and I think it's despicable. Along with all other unethical business practices.

Happy for whoever got it.  I would love to own one!  I'll keep waiting and searching.  Hopefully one day I'll get lucky !

You have been more than fair in selling your PP's, no push-pin sounds and is as well made as yours. A lot goes into them, the quality of the wood, checkering in the lid, and most of all, they are all TURKEY! I'll bet $3,700 is the World Record price sold for one. Nothing at all to be ashamed about. Kudos for developing them, I'll never enter the woods without them, Lord knows they changed the game for me for sure. Congrats!

I have a pushpin call that was coughed on by Shannon himself. I will let it go for a crisp $37,000,000 dollar bill.

No low ballers

I know what I gotz









Seriously though, congrats to the seller and the buyer. They are both happy, clearly. The rest...is noise.

I'm glad to see this thread didn't go full tilt into a seller/buyer bashing session. I've lurked around on this site for several years and am not all that active in posting and chatting, but I've enjoyed this site and the members for being a great and humble resource. I hope it stays that way and doesn't go the way of many forums with a bunch of snot nose yuppie elitists who bash the hell out of anyone posting that isn't in the clique.
I'm happy for the seller, the buyer and the callmaker. All 3 are winners in that transaction.

The bottom line is simple. The buyer got an outstanding call and spurs2bgobblin made some extra money for another project.
Spurs2bgobblin listed the call at what he paid for it and was hoping it might bring a little bit more to cover the eBay fees and shipping, which is roughly 15% of price.

He was just as shocked as everyone else was at the sale price. He had no control over bids, as it was an auction. Like spurs2bgobblin stated the buyer could be a very wealthy person and to them $3700 means nothing to them for a Shannon Kelly call.
Congratulations to both the buyer and seller. It appears both are happy with the outcome and life moves on.
Like I always say, "Better hunting experiences through aggressive spending."

Let me tell you about spurs2bgobblin

He helped me get connected with the right people when I got started buying custom turkey calls. I met him on this forum and to say he is a good guy is an understatement.

I recently won a box call on eBay. I got a text from him and he said " you should have told me you wanted that call" and he cancelled the eBay transaction and sold me the call at his cost with shipping and threw in a Glenda Green holster.

I don't have a dog in the fight. I did not sell him the pushpin he sold on eBay, I just want everyone to know he is as good as they get.

I would not sell my pushpin for $3,700. They are straight killers.

Makes you wonder if the people who really wanted one, really wanted one ... I knew this would probably happen... As Shannon has said it belongs to them and they can do what they want with them...
