Ebay sale.

As per title, or has the bottom really dropped out of what were once considered the Rolls Royce of distance reels? Was thinking of selling the four I have owned since new but not a a rock bottom price!

Tbf there is still 6 days to go. Sometimes putting no reserve can fetch more money than you originally wanted, well it's worked like that for me in the past

They regularly make more than they were new if in reasonable condition.
Dont think they can lose you money in the long run.

They'll go for silly money. I dropped out of an auction for some shimano ci4 big baitrunners when they got to virtually new value.

As someone else said, lack of spare parts now if they go wrong.

I had a set and still think they are the best reels I have used but fear of something
going wrong made me decide to sell.

I think in the future that will be a thing of the past.

If someone with some people in the know had a 3D printer they could earn an absolute killing in years to come. People are already starting to fill a gap when it comes to re-casing Nevilles, or producing snag ears for them.

Sorry I'm being a smart arse but can't resist. In the future everything will be a thing of the past. Just ignore me.

Yup they will sell for at least £1k.... but I'd guess around £1200 - £1300

They will definitely sell for good money in the end. Only morons and relatives of the seller bid up with days to go!

I've got three, if I was concerned about spares and decided to sell, what would you suggest I replace with that is still high quality?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
