New to forum - how much are my new Shakespeare rod and reel worth?

[deanoavfc]

Hi, I am a bit of a newbie here!!

 

My grandfather recently gave me a rod and reel which I intend to sell. Could someone give me an estimate of their value.

Both items are 100% new and unused.

 

Shakespeare Euroboat (blue)

1410-030

Length: 1.95m

Class: 30lb 13.6kg

 

Shakespeare Sea Wolf Multiplier

2910 350

Gear Ratio 4.0:1

Full Free Spool Mechanism

Extra Smooth Star Drag

Robust Graphite Body

 

If anyone has any advice on where to sell (other than eBay) it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

There's a seawolf reel on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shakespeare-Seawolf-...409112001r35369

 

currently £4. It won't sell for much more. You might get a tenner for the rod and reel together, better off keeping it in case you fancy a trip out sometime, or give it to someone who you know that wants to give boat fishing a try.

That reel sold for £20.50

Yup I see that, that's a surprisingly good price. A few things on ebay have gone for much more than I would have expected recently - I guess because the price of fishing tackle has gone up recently.

Ebay's a fickle place - you can sell something one day for £20 and then not get a bid for exactly the same item a day later!

Indeed. I have 30 watchers on a set of mtb cranks I'm selling so that's got to be a good omen!

 

Sorry to the OP for this OT nonsense!
