Where is good place to look for maybe used traps that are big? How much would a big trap cost?

How big are you talking? Like turtle big, or sasquatch big?

Most guys looking for large old Bear traps are looking to cash in on the fact that they are highly collectable and in demand. Those that didn't know that, do now!
Because so, good luck finding one that is for sale reasonable, if wanting just one for decoration or whatever, i would keep a eye on E-Bay, see if one comes up.

when I was a kid I saw my grandpa's Bear Traps. He told me they bought either 100 Lb traps or 130Lb traps For black bear. I think they were from Diamond Trap and tool company. When they sold the ranch near Big Piney they were never seen again. That was in the 70's. I still have several of his traps that I and my sons still use for smaller stuff. I did see Extra large wolf traps in a montgomery catalog a few years ago. BTW Grandpa told me when they set the traps they drove the truck onto the springs one at a time and set a safety or wired it until they set the dog. He said your thumbs will last longer if you use the safeties.

A very good friend of mine is a SERIOUS trap collector.
He has the largest collection of Newhouse traps that I know of, multiple big bear traps, #6's, #15's, #5's, #50's tons of wolf/lion #14's, 4 1/2's #4's, you name it he has it, if you have the cash he has it or can tell you where to get it.
He moved to Belgrade Montana a few years ago.
Those big bear traps will run well over a grand and the #6 up to around 4 grand depending on condition.
You can pick up reproductions much cheaper if you want it for d?cor purposes.
