wymberley Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 If all 8 carry the label, you need to re-consider the asking price by a wide margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other decoys have come and gone but those flexicoy have stood the test of time and they will still compete with any decoy on todays market , t b h someone can't go wrong with £20 for the lot , they will easily make that at our local sporting auction . GOOD LUCK with the sale . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years these have morphed from the originals with the label to those without and then finally a thinner material version - same, just about 80% of the weight IIRC. Had I not already got 30 I'd have had your hand off at the elbow. My father must have disturbed some poachers who saw him coming before he saw them (being totally deaf he would have heard nothing) leaving some decoys behind - one of which was a Flexicoy. He put it on the hedge at the end of the garden and Mother always removed it when trimming it and then replaced it. There it stayed. When I sold the house some 20+ years later it was still pulling the odd pigeon down from a couple of nearby trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these are definitely built to last but also makes them heavy compared to modern ones which I think puts people off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
