Decoys

[bluewinged46er]

Not sure if this violates a forum rule or not, but I am looking for used decoys (duck only), either Avian-X or Higdon. I haven't found much, and I have been watching craigslist for cities all along the Mississippi flyway. Anybody have a better idea of where to look for used dekes?

Some of the outfitters at Reelfoot replace some of their decoys each year. I think I remember Ben Parker saying how many he replaces each year

Forums like this & occasionally FB marketplace.
Put a post in the classifieds & let folks know you're looking.
Used decoys on Craigslist are priced hilariously high. Maybe they're full of gold or ammo.
Just gotta watch and be ready to pounce. I got a great deal on a bunch of geese & some Higdon battleships off the refuge forums a couple months ago.

I shold have mentioned that I am less than 50 posts, so I can't yet post in classifieds. That is the reason I thought this may violate a forum rule. I guess I could just go on a posting binge to get over 50.

Chimneyman is right.
Ben Parker does sell a bunch of his decoys every year.
You can contact him through facebook.

He uses Higdon exclusively.
He told me that he buys a BUNCH of decoys every year and gets a rather hefty discount so if he can sell them after one year for close to what he pays for them he benefits in a couple ways.
He doesn't have to store them in the off season and he has brand new Higdon battleships every year.

I didn't ask him what he asks for them though, but I'm sure it's alot cheaper than buying new.

I'm sure you've already known, but Avery offers pre-rigged and "gently loved" decoys at their shop. Lots of times they're in good condition. Not sure of brands though

How many you looking for?

 

[bluewinged46er]

Looking for a couple dozen to start. Puddle only for now.

Don't know what brand, but I enjoy hitting up Avery's bargain bin after the season is over. I usually find some new in plastic hens, of various species of duck, and every now and then a drake the same way. I still need to go this year, need to replace a few that got loose up on the river in high water. Any of the used ones, check over good, I have found a bunch that had been hit with a few pieces of shot and needed some silicone before they could be reliably left out.

Anyone got a link to this? For some reason their site doesn't come up when I search for it.

Bargain bin is in store only in Memphis. Not sure they have a web store any more, their URL redirects to Banded now.

If you care to drive to Paducah Higdon has the same thing. You can go to the back and buy seconds and returns at a nice discount.

Avery's website is pretty crappy. You just gotta make a habit of swinging by every few weeks or so.

I have a box of new ones that I have never used I can sell cheap. I will need to have someone go get a pic of them at the farm. I would say half the new price would be fair? Will see what they are and let you know if you are interested. They are in Shelbyville but I am in Nashville.

 

[waynesworld]

This is what I have they have just been sitting in the barn never used. If you want them for $25 would be meet either Shelbyville or Nashville.

I've got 3-4 dozen battleships I'm thinking about getting rid of. Problem is they are in a storage unit in Brinkley Arkansas. Ill shoot you a PM when I go get them.

Bought Higdon mallards on sale at Mack's Prairie Winds. Good discount. Free shipping plus a $15 coupon for signing up for the newsletter.

Went to Avery yesterday. Bargain bin only has 3 GW Teal, 1 wood duck decoy with the top of its head smashed in, one black duck full of shot, and a painted black mallard hen. I bought the only 2 decent decoys left in it for $5 each.
