older ones are probably worth more than new ones...

Are you just offering an opinion or do you have ones for sale?

got bunches, none of which are for sale.

Are you looking for them because of some intrinsic value or are you hoping to find some inexpensive cranks?
If the answer is the latter I have a suggestion for you.

Well, I want to replace old ones that were stolen. I really liked them and have more confidence in them than the newer ones. I guess next time I post a WTB I'll give a reason why I want to buy them too. Now the important question- got any to sell?

Sorry - but nope. I use generic "paint them myself" lures. I can't afford real Bandits.

Please don't be offended by guys making statements and asking questions. The reason is lots of folks get on here wanting to buy old bandits for repaints thinking they are going to get them cheaper. And most of the guys in this situation will recommend places to buy blanks cheaper than you can buy used bandits. I'm sure Windstones statement about being more expensive than new was based on what you are saying why you want to replace them. It also might help if you could be specific on the color's your looking for. Might find a guy or two that has some extras of a particular color that they would part with. Also might watch Bassboatcentral in their for sale section. They have a section just for individuals selling baits. Also Walleycentral on their message boards has a swap/sell section under 500.00 where you might post what your looking for. Lots of northern crappie fishermen on there.
