what's a broadhead worth ?
« on: September 26, 2013, 07:45:00 PM »
Hey guys.   I have a small collection, destined only for my wall.  Had great aspirations but soon realized I did not have enough money to collect a representative of each broadhead mfr'd in Wisconsin.

That's OK, its been fun and I learned a lot of our past history.

During my collecting, I got hold of a head I believe to be a T.B. Chandler 3.75" tie on (#1230.000).  It is a blank, unsharpened, kinda shiny metal.

It looks cool, and I know it is worth more than the others I have, but not sure what kind of ballpark it sits in.  I keep having thoughts that it should be sold or traded to someone that is a real collector who can enjoy having it, instead of just a head on the wall as it is currently.

Any thoughts ?

There is not a Blue Book on broadhead prices, so the saying that "It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it" does apply, and auctions end up with the winner willing to pay more than anyone else.  

You live in the state where the American Broadhead Collectors Club was formed, has one of the highest number of ABCC members that hold an annual meeting every year at different members houses.

Joining the ABCC would be a big step in gaining more heads for the collection and learning the history connected to Wisconsin.

ABCC is highly recommended. For value a good guide is the "closed auctions" on the unmentionable auction site.
