Fisherpete Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I am clearing out a bunch of tackle for my friend Al in the classifieds, and there are 4 reels that he gave me to sell that I have no clue of the value. I will do some online searching, but am looking for some help from the appraisers on this site! Two of the reels are pretty old and thought that they might have some appeal to a collector... anyways, here they are: 1) Penn Master 151 baitcaster, RH 2) Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5600 Plus 3) Pflueger Skilkast (trademark no. 1953) also says Pflueger Summit no 1995 on the sideplate 4) Pflueger Trump (trademark no 1943) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm not an expert by any means but IMO the pflueger 1953 and 1943 are worth about 25-50 each, in that condition as is....I'm assuming Al doesn't have the original box and documents? in excellent condition with original box and documents they could be pushing 200 a piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherpete Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nope, no boxes or documents... just as they are, which is in pretty nice shape. Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Just a suggestion, don`t ever use the " buy it now " price to determine value. I have seen a lot of people on Ebay that try to turn trash into a treasure by slapping a ridculously high " Buy it now " price on an old reel they have for sale. Not to say some aren`t a fair deal, but more people phish than people from here. Edited January 25, 2013 by OhioFisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Larry Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'd suggest posting them on a site where the "reel heads" go. Their are quite a few collectors out there. Try Alan Tani's site. You will get a response from guys all over the world. http://alantani.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
