Brand and condition are the biggies. I deal in alot of used traps at different times. Fur prices/value affect some traps too. For
"user" traps $10-$20 in your size's listed for good solid traps with normal wear. Any parts that need replaced decrease that value accordingly. Customizing some traps hurts the resale value too. Kinda like having a pool at your house and then selling your house, if the new buyer doesnt want the pool it has no value to them. Collector traps theres no telling without brand and condition. Ive got some old pre 1950 Newhouse no.4 DLS in excellent condition Ive turned down $150 each. The low collector value on some traps makes them users to me.

Supply/demand and economy will affect value too. Right now most are buying used coilsprings to use and the collector market is suffering. Last few months the value of collector traps has dropped I believe. I just bought a box of Diamond no.21 double jaw traps for a little over $5 each. Some still have shiney metal showing thru. If I was you and unless you needed the money I'd hold onto them for a year or so and let the economy/fur markets recover some.

Most likely user traps then if the springs are still strong. $10-$15 each for the 3's and $15-$20 each for the 4's would be a decent price for you to get. Out west some may want them for yotes and cats, wetter areas everywhere else for beaver. As always condition and supply and demand govern price/value. If you really want to get rid of them or need the money I'd let them go for the bottom side of the value I listed. Remember if its not a face to face deal then Shipping and Handling will need to be added to the total cost too. If theyre 3N's or cast jaws you can add a few dollars value to each.
