    Holy Grail Bandit?




    Is this the Holy Grail of Bandit crankbaits?

    Well, the china ones in that color have been bringing $70 nib, so I'd say that one would probably sell pretty well. I haven't saw a triple grip in that color sell yet. You've probably got the only one in existence

    If the trend continues I'd believe you have a highly desirable version of that color. I dont have that one in an original triple grip.

    I think there is something wrong with this bait and the prices it's commanding. Have talked to some other avid collectors and if you study whose buying these on the Bay, it's seems it's being artificially driven up by a few people. Just my opinion

    And that is far from a Holy Grail color in Bandits

    Regardless, there are multiple sellers that are getting the $50+ for China versions of this color. The trend on this color probably won't hold, but there is something to it now.

    It seems to be an eBay only fad.... Several have been listed on facebook pages and it's nothing but crickets. I myself have listed some, 2 for the price of one.. nothing.

    Hmmm, that's interesting. Since it is only about 3 bidders bidding them up, maybe none of them are on facebook? Who knows

    I paid $5.99 for it so if someone offers me $30 its sold. To be honest I had two of these but painted over the other one since I didn't care for the color.

    Sounds like the Rebel Mid Wee R story I heard...

    I think Shrimp is honestly much rarer. Clear Pink deal

    I sold one of those last week for 35.00 I have several Bandits from 25.00to 50.00 selling like crazy all old bandits they don’t make any more. The translucent ones get big bucks. The Louisiana Shad is really creeping up in price. The tiger series are big sellers. Blue purple, lavender, fluorescent colors.
