Antique Pickaroon: 4 Quick Ways To Find Them

If you are a person who is obsessed with old things then pickaroon might already be in your list. Or perhaps you don’t hunt for other antique items but, pickaroon is the only tool that you scout for.

This article will going to discuss about the various options you have when it comes to getting a vintage pickaroon or hookaroon.

Which Vintage Pickaroon You Should Pick?

Ideally, you should go for the ones that have been in a good condition so you can easily make sure it will remain the same without much adverse effect for the rest of its life.

But, really it all depends on the purpose you’re getting the vintage pickaroon for.

Maybe you’re just a hoarder who likes to carry all sort of vintage items.

Maybe you want to sell to a museum, online market place (reselling), or just to work with it which I don’t think why you’re here.

Maybe your friend or any of your loved one likes antique pickaroon/hookaroon so you want to gift this item to them to make there day?

But, still if you want a budget friendly pickaroon to work with if that’s your goal then you might not be able to find one because usually the antique pickaroon comes at greater cost and is not that budget-friendly or not at all. Below you’ll see a list of online marketplaces where you can get a budget friendly one but, the chances are way less. Especially considering the size and the type of pickaroon you want to buy.

Because they are pretty rare and not a lot of them are left in the world. Because of the fact that they are the items of lifetime so I’ll suggest you for a new one instead. Details are also covered below if you want to get a new one instead if you’ve changed tyour mind.

But, go for an antique piece this definitely have a place in this world.

Why There Are Not Much Antique Pickaroon Left?

One of the reason is already discussed above.

And the second reason is because not a lot of old people have work with pickaroon and hookaroon tools. You may consider them as quite a modern invention.

These are not very modern by any means but, they are not quite vintage as well.

Online Market Places Where You Can Find These Antique Pickaroons/Hookaroons

·         Ebay

·         Etsy

·         Craigslist

·         Local Classified Site(s)

Are a few options you can consider when getting an antique pickaroon online.

Both Ebay and Etsy have options to choose from.  Or if you’ve just a craving to look at these old pickaroons then you can consider Pinterest for that.

For example here at Etsy (during the time of writing this article):

https://www.etsy.com/market/pickaroon

There are 2 left on the platform and they cost around $104.01 - $115.57 USD bucks.

This is quite a bit when comparing it with the new options we have available on the Amazon.

Ebay on the other side have a lot more options for you to consider:

https://www.ebay.com/b/Pickaroon/39729/bn_55191644

You might get a much better price on the Ebay platform but, it all comes down to the size and condition of it and your preference of course.

I hope you’re not very condition orientated as if you’re then going vintage might not be a best solution for you. In that case, go for a new tool instead.

Offline Markets

You might be considering going on a local market tour in your area to get the real life experience on these tools but, the reality is you might not find even one there.

You might be able to a fewer newer options but, finding an old vintage one might be hard and challenging as well.

So I don’t recommend offline markets to go to and find these kind of antique pickaroon (or hookaroon) items.

Local Classified Sites

Yep, if you really want to go local even after knowing it’s pretty hard but, just to make sure you can find something in your local area, do a quick search in your local country classified platform to see if any person is selling old pickaroon. If they do, you can contact them either via the platform by messaging or do a call to get much better detail.

Make a deal and go for collecting the item.

You might also search for Craigslist because this is a giant when it comes to the classified sites so you might be able to find a vintage pickaroon in your local are this way.

These are a few couple of options you can try if you want to go a local way.
