this type of post should be banned. accepting offers until you get the highest bid is not what this is about. take this bait and put it on ebay if thats how you want to operate. putting "accepting cash offers OBO" or something is fine but outright saying your going to go with the highest bidder is ridiculous. bad form Alan.12 points -

“Pm offers” in general is LAME and should be against the rules. You want to ask some for some flippy boy price that’s your deal, atleast man up to it and throw it up there. Pick a price and roll with it instead of just trying to get the highest dollar amount out of the community. What the OP did is a poor reflection of character.9 points -

The best way to get certain baits for almost retail is be cool around the community, if someone posts about wanting a certain bait and you got an extra help them out. That stuff comes back around 10 fold in the Swimbait community, you get some duds (memebers) here and there but there’s some gems for sure! Also double retail isn’t even that bad, certain bait makers you’ll pay quadruple. If you want somethin and you got the funds go for it!8 points -

Ok, so if you had two of the same bait, why wouldn’t you follow through with the sale? He gets one and I get the other that I paid for on EBay? There’s no need to cancel one transaction if you have two baits. You state that he paid 165? Our sale we agreed on was 175.00, which I paid. There’s no misunderstanding. It’s clear as day what you’re doing bro.8 points -
Had a great day on swimbaits on my home waters of Delacroix Island. Landed 6 good ones on Flats Raiders and broke one off on a Speckled trout Glide. Big fish was 25” and bit on a pink one.7 points

PM offers and obo never bothered me personally Although I understand how that may frustrate some, at the end of the day, if someone isn't violating terms of service on a platform, I simply put in an offer or move right along. Going back n forth with a buyer or seller eventually just makes all parties involved look bad. Jmo and my 2 cents5 points

I feel like I'm in the sneaker game all over again. Being a new member isn't an excuse. I'm new to SU. This was a clown move period. I do agree that the whole "PM offer" and OBO is lame. Put the price that you want and keep it moving. If they don't like your price, they can keep it moving. PM Offer = "I know what I want but I'm not going to put it out there because b/c i may leave money on the table plus if don't get what I want I'll just sit on it and no one will know" and "OBO" at this point it's just default slang b/c that's just what you do. Who's really going through with the sale of a bait to the top lowballer?!5 points

The issue here isn’t about paying over retail for a bait. Spend money how you see fit. You earned it, spend it. DRT is very inconsistent with their releases, I don’t have faith in what they say. So if I see something I want, if I can I’ll buy it. Ideally I would love to buy direct but we all know it’s very difficult. So there’s that. The problem I have is how the OP conducted his business. That speaks volumes on his character. He had the bait listed originally for 200.00, so with his listing stating or “best offer” I suggested a lower price and he counter offered to 175.00. I agree, I pay and soon after he retracts and cancels my order. The bait or his “other” bait shows up here on SU for sale. How he worded the offer didn’t bother me, it was his dishonesty and retraction of our deal. Good people don’t do business this way. Dude didn’t gain me as an enemy, I’m not like that. It’s his hustle, still want to see the man eat, just not at my table.5 points -

Mike, not sure how much of this you read, but you are reacting to the inflated price of the bait. No one here has an issue with baits being "flipped". I think what most of the members here have an issue with, including myself, is the details of the retracted and refunded sale in addition to the initial wording he used in the post. Saying "OBO" or message offers is a regularly practiced method of sale which I know you're aware of, but this is not an auction site and saying the highest bidder gets it should not be practiced. Not lecturing here, just clarifying the real issue. Members are more than welcome to put any bait up for any price they want. It was the way that he was operating the transaction in addition to the sale history that was being revealed as being less than straight forward. He is a new member, and will hopefully learn from this situation and I hope he will go on to having successful transactions. But if he pulls here what it appears happened previously on eBay, he will be rightfully ridiculed and negative reviews will follow.4 points -

DRT coming soon
Toro blanco and 2 others reacted to basslegion for a topic
Do not spam DRT they will not give a date and don't spam me thanks. Just keep a look out!!!!! Stop paying over priced klashes, some abs plastic not worth $200. They're great baits but the flipping prices are ridiculous, if you got the money go for it, I'm just gonna wait and restock when they hit. Just remember the are now 5 USA dealers, they all have a supply waiting to come in one day.3 points -

Unless it’s a REALLY big restock, it’s only going to help the guys who can sit at their computer or phone refreshing the page. The reality is 90% of us at sleeping or working during releases, which means 10% of people will end up with the baits, thus high prices will remain.3 points -

UFO Baits are legit. I only own two wake versions, the bassjak juvi gill and the basshole bleeding baby bass.. they swim the best I think at a slow speed retrieve. Hardware included on the bait is grade A.3 points -

First Cast

First cast of the day with the Hudd. Crept it up a long main lake point and she smoked it. Looked a lot bigger than 6lbs when she came and up and wallowed on the surface! I we were fishing a small club derby, so I boxed her and took a pic a the end of the day. We ended up winning the pot and Big Fish!2 points -

im not missing the mark, i just dont agree with your assessment that there are no exceptions. what if the seller does not know the exact market value? what if the seller is really needing the money and wants to get rid of it ASAP and would take an offer close to asking price? not sure how the original discussion of illuminating the fact that this is not an auction site became saying a price followed by or best offer is just as much of a scummy move. its called negotiating. originally i was pointing out facts on this thread that auction style sales is not welcome which is pretty much universally agreed upon throughout SU. now we are discussing other members feelings about something completely different. you want the "OBO" or PM offers" to change? get a petition going and present it to admin.2 points -

The old school came in slow sink and floater. Thr slow sink is a count down bait and will never float back up. The floater came in a regular bill and one with the holes that was called bubble lip. Thr newer ones come in crank down or floater. The crank down will float until you crank it down and if you stop cranking it will float back up to the surface. The floater is a regular floater with a regular lip. Hope this helps2 points

Reunited-Bait Travel
oh da shiz and one other reacted to chefchris for a topic
Figured I'd share this cool story about this baits journey. I purchased this 316 OG Wake that @SPEEDBEADhad converted to a glide back in 2014. Wayne had spent a lot of time weighting/tuning it and swam great. Think it was bone/white when I got it. After I got it, I cleaned up the hook rash, lip slot, joint area and weighted areas, and I sent it off to @pizz for a repaint. Color from referenced from a pic of a wild juvi rainbow trout from a backwoods stream in RI. Bait came back in April of 2015 and looked amazing, think i fished it a few times but never really gave it the time it deserved, was too into surfcasting for stripers that season. I sold it locally to another RI swimbait tosser, later in 2015. He sold it at some point, then it was resold 2x and @asohozaended up with it. I don't think anyone fished besides him based on how great of condition it was still after 5 seasons. I had seen it in a pic he posted with his other 316 collections, I had reached out about it and just thought it was cool it surfaced back up. He ended up posting it for sale on the Black Market and I grabbed it to fish it this season. I threw some hooks on it and found some open water to see it swim again. Bait has a cool slow side to side swim, and the joint will knock if you give it a good twitch, otherwise its quiet, sinks level, super cool bait mod and stoked to have it back and give it its fair share of time in the water this season.2 points
