Does anybody want to bid?

I'd be willing if it wasn't inscribed and had the paperwork. It's already nearing my top though

DonLee Davis type call for sure.

Earl Mickle's personal call - that a rare one.
Placed a bid and was automatically outbid. Hate to see what this one will go for

I tossed my hat in the ring and was the high bidder for maybe an hour. Bill Hinckle puts one on and relisted and lowered the price a few times before selling. This one shoots for the moon the first time out.
If I was not in the middle of seeking a house and making an offer on another I would surely try, but like Terry they are already close to the top of my budget.
MY GUESS.. 7 - 10 thousand .. ending bid..
Way over my budget for something thats going to acquire dust

Seeing it in the spring woods makes it 10x better! Hope you are doing well Ricky!

I agree! I like these pictures a lot better than the shelves and glass cases.

How does bidding go backwards on fleabay? Thought once you bid you're locked in.

The high bidder had their bid canceled by the seller probably because they had 0 feedback then the next bidder retracted their bid. They will probably say they put the wrong amount in or something like that.

It's something new they are experimenting with this summer, it's similar to a reverse home mortgage.

Ridiculous. Several years from now his heirs will sell it for five or ten bucks in a garage sale.

Opinions vary Sir.

As if people spending this kind of cash on calls wouldn't have their heirs informed of the value of those calls. Ridiculous.
For some the history and legend that comes with a trumpet like that means far more than the almighty dollar. Some of us have a deep connection to things that others may not understand. That was a great price for that call and I hardly doubt the buyer will lose any money.

While I agree that's a crazy amount of money for a turkey call, I think in general the high end market for quality turkey calls by famous makers will continue to appreciate over time. Only a limited number of these calls will ever be made. These are handmade masterful instruments made by a select few makers and should continue to be highly sought-after because of their legendary status. This forum has a lot to do with that status.
A call made by Zach for Earl Mickel. I don't know why anyone is surprised by the price with two legends like that involved.
