I received an item on this forum a few weeks back. Was looking for my item to put on the forum. Found an old fishing reel that I bought sometime around 1980-81 or so. I never used it, and for some reason have been keeping this thing for that long. Almost threw it out a ton of times.
Anyway, I found another item in its place and put that on here. Then I figured I'd just sell the reel outright on the Classified forum. Figured $20-25 or so.
Did some research just to confirm the price to me-thought maybe $25 was too high.
Well, my unused reel, only manufactured between 1979-80, purchased at a now-closed down Herters in Chippewa Falls, WI, turns out to be rather collectible. The reel I almost gave away sold on eBay last night to a Japanese collector for well over $900
