Advice on selling used reels
Advice on selling used reels
How have you successfully sold used reels? My situation is that I have two Shimano Calcutta TE 101GT's that I am not using.
Life/circumstance has caused me to not need them now. I believe that TT rules are you need 100 post before you can list them
on the site. I don't meet this qualification. My post count before the crash is gone and I haven't been active lately.
Thanks for your help.
Also, how did you determine a fair price?

You might try Bass Boat Central's forum (BBC), lot of TT members sell there, also.

Re: Advice on selling used reels
Yup thats a good place to sell. I sell what seems like 4-5 reels a week BBC has a lot of traffic. To gauge prices check what the last ones sold for on Ebay and also check here on TT and on BBC to see if some are sitting or sold and at what prices.BigG wrote:You might try Bass Boat Central's forum (BBC), lot of TT members sell there, also.

Re: Advice on selling used reels
I believe you are grandfathered since you were a member prior to the crash, so you may be able to sell in the Classifieds even without 100 posts. That used to be the situation anyhow, and as far as I know it is still in effect. Give it a try and see what happens.mikey wrote:How have you successfully sold used reels?

Re: Advice on selling used reels
I use this site for selling reels, and thats pretty much it. The rest of the site (especially the LOUNGE) seems to be a joke. Just a bunch of know it alls and grown babies.BigG wrote:You might try Bass Boat Central's forum (BBC), lot of TT members sell there, also.

Youre one of them. It can make for a good read when bored. Some of the bickering is quite humorous sometimes.Teal101 wrote:I do, usually just to stir the potBigG wrote:You mean you don't go to the lounge and pat your post every.LgMouthGambler wrote:I use this site for selling reels, and thats pretty much it.

Re: Advice on selling used reels
I own 5 of those Calcutta TE's, 3 of which were bought on ebay. This is the best time of year to sell. I normally buy more rods/reels online in the fall and winter, (reels sell for much cheaper in the colder months).mikey wrote:How have you successfully sold used reels?

I have seen those TE''s fetch over $300 on ebay, it all depends on condition and if you have the box. If they are beat up expect $150-$200. Ebay would be my choice. Good Luck
Re: Advice on selling used reels
BBC is your best bet for selling. I've found it to be a good place to buy as well. Like the others I only buy/sell there pretty much, or post in the fishing techniques and rod/reel sections.
Re: Advice on selling used reels
Thank you for your advice. BBC looks like the place to go.

Those are reels that definately have a cult following, and they are "heirloom" quality reels. The GT model is key. Quotes given above on what you should expect to get $ are very accurate imo
Re: Advice on selling used reels
I should be in pretty good shape. One is NIB. The other has 25(?) hours experience. DR ( for you old timers ) put
Boca ABEC 7's in both. Have the boxes, bags, papers and original bearings. Thanks again.
