Bruce, I will take 6 for $7.00 LOL, but sell to others at the flea market for more...

all kidding aside, you should be able to get 11.00 for the 6 easily in my opinion.. Let Doc help you price them ;)

Bruce, If you are going to sell them that low, we can meet on the turnpike and I will buy them all from you at that low low price and you can say yourself the trip. Go home with a little chump change in your pocket and I go setup on your two tables and let you know how things went when i get home. Hell I might even keep you updated sale by sale on tap a talk....

You should have put together a little display of all the flounder you caught on them jigs let them see the size you where bringing home on every trip out.

Believe it or not people will pay top dollar for something they want, you just have to make them want it and that should be easy for you buddy....

One last thing it is easier to come down in price than it is to go up. Meaning if you sell yourself short and people buy all your stuff and do really well with it, they will expect to be able to get it at the same price....

Yes there are allot of guys here that sell there jigs, but guess what , come on ..... they are selling them at the price they are happy with perhaps they could get more perhaps not. But I would go with the perhaps not for they have already established there price with there buyers. And once you do that it is very hard to raise your prices and continue to get repeat buyers.

Contrary to what allot of people might think about the Doc, there are only a handful of people on this site that have sold and turned more product than I have. I could name them off but no need they know who they are and I commend them for the hard work and dedication they have put into there business....

If your jigs look as good as some of the pictures you have posted up here you wont have any problem selling them for $3.50 - $4.00 ea especially on the bigger size jigs you been tying up.

If you dont believe me search around the web and see what these so called hot shots along the Jersey shore are selling there custom poured Ultra Minnows for. I think it will knock your socks off when you see some of the prices and they are having a hard time filling there orders.

I would also have some business cards on hand if you dont already to hand out with the sales, that way if they like them and do well with them, you wont need to go to the Flea Markets, they will come to you for more and they already know what your price is.....

Once last thing and dont think I am trying to step on anyone's toe's or cut anyone short for that is not the case. Just beware of all the half-***** salesman that are out there. They can talk the talk but they sure cant walk the walk.

Now that puts everything right back on your shoulders, why dont you tell use honestly what you think your jigs are worth and what you think you can sell them for.....

Remember you are trying to gain customers and hopefully repeat customers, they are the best.....

Here is an example after doing some research for you. Palmers bucktail jigs are considered one of the better ones in the NJ area to buy. He is getting $3.00 for a one oz. jig just like yours. Look at how he markets his jigs on the web site....Best hooks, best size hook for better hook up, (who said they were a better size lol) Better paint....some even powder coated it said lol. Some?

Any how, google Palmers Buck tail jigs and check his site out. Good info for you there on NJ are pricing. Like I said, in De., my fluke balls in 2 oz. are selling for about $2.75 a RIG (2 hooks, leader, teaser, lead), in NJ they are getting $5.00 a rig lol. That is why I am looking to get more shops in NJ.
I need to start a web site lol, His jigs are not any better than mine IMO, and several shops in DE. say mine are better. Now if I could only figure out how to set up a web site!
