Rat trap springers value????

[dragnusa]

I had a guy contact me saying he had an old mid weight with a rat trap springer and to make him an offer, I got to look at it just long enough to see that it was a rat trap springer and that it was in a nice ratty condition. but thats about it. Any input on what I should offer would be great.

Seems like they sell pretty regularly for 40-50 bucks (the springer itself) I've bought a couple in that price range.

I had considered using one on my kunker, but it is tough to mount a front rim brake on them.
They are a must if you are restoring a Spaceliner.
$50 for a ratty one and $100 for a clean one sounds right.

I do have a liner that had been "rebuilt" some time in its past, hmmmm.

50 bucks if it's straight. For 100 it better be rust-free immaculate. :|

I sold one about a year ago for $40 plus shipping. It wasn't perfect, but was straight with surface rust.
