Plano 747 tackle box with fold-out trays

A hard plastic Plano 747 tackle box with the fold-out tray system, common in garages where someone fished a few times and stopped. The box itself is worth little on its own; the value comes from lures and hooks left inside. Check the latches and hinges before you list it.

Estimated resale range (used)

$15 – $40

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Open and close every latch and the lid hinge - a cracked latch is the most common fault on these boxes.
  • Empty the trays and look for rust, sand and old line; included lures and hooks can be worth more than the box.
  • Note the model number moulded into the bottom and the number of trays so buyers know exactly what they are getting.

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
