Dude.. really…it’s 20 years old used and beat.

[SMYLEE]

This resell market on rod and reels is a joke.
Everyone thinks they have treasure.
It’s almost to the point now that boat rash seem to increase the value. Used beat unfixable discontinued treasure.

No I’m not talking about legit treasure but the everyday stuff….. like gOLD Trinidad’s or old avets and accurates… OLD penns with TIB frames. Wtf… is going on? Let’s not mention the rods….

But hey almost everything is backwards at this point.

Rant over.

All the items you listed are classics and workhorses.

 

[Blackfish]

I have a "vintage" Torium 20, asking $400 It's a classic. The boat rash is like patina, it adds value.

 

[AWilliams]

There's ALOT hype-men on here for every flavor of rod and reel that will piss all over themselves to tell you how good it is and what a unicorn it is....thus, inflated pricing

I’ve gotten sticker shock recently in the classified.
I’ve purchased Seeker Black steel rods here.
One for $80 and another for about $160 if I recall. Both 7 ft and clean.
I’ve seen some lately listed at $300-.
Scratched up to boot.
Crazy

Except everything I have… it’s all crap, and I should sell it for pennies.

 

[sealskinner]

I fish Trulines. I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[tommysdad]

No low-ballers, I know what I have.

 

[Kman]

I have OG Loomis-made Shimano Calcutta 812, 815 and 820XFA that are 9/10 and I fish them all the time. Steve says I can get over $300 for each. Crazy.

[plj46]

Only to me!

 

[I hate seals]

$1000 jig rods, it's a fishing rod, not a vintage handbag. Or is it?
I like the guys asking more than retail on a reel because it has spectra.
Everything I sell is a deal. It's used, and used is used.

 

[onehottip]

So I should sell my tn20 for 50$ ? It’s mint ! Never been fished.

 

[Blackfish]

I have some old Penny Baits I'll sale you for $7

 

[I hate seals]

You struck a chord here- I have those extra fast ones, but jonesing for another 825FA, only one left in the quiver and my favorite 20 lb. stick. Loved the 715XFA for the albies. Loomis have any blanks like that 825FA now? Hey there's a gold Trini 12 on the 825, must be worth a million bucks!

 

[Aggro]

Dang. Was gonna sell my Newells for like 100 bucks. Guess I'll put em back on the shelf.
