Advice on selling used reels

[mikey]

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?

check ebay or TT history

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

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.

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.

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.

You mean you don't go to the lounge and pad your post every.

I do, usually just to stir the pot

Youre one of them. It can make for a good read when bored. Some of the bickering is quite humorous sometimes.

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).
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

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.

[mikey]

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

[mikey]

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.
