WORD HAS IT THAT MANY COLLECTABLES ARE WAY DOWN IN VALUE !!!
NOT SO WITH SPINNING REELS !!!
A WILD AND WACKY QUARTER AS YOU WILL SEE-----
WACKY------------
Ever wonder where some sellers get their information? I do
A Herters model 63 exc.+, seller was told that it was possibly made by Alcedo (of Italy) funny thing was that the large medallion on the reel was marked "JAPAN" it sold @26.00
Now here is a good one---- listed as an antique 1950 Cardinal fishing reel Don't know if it was Abu or Zebco?
was listed as NIB never used with an extra spool. (no model number given?) seller also stated that one of these without the box all sratched up sold @600.00 on the bay in Aug. and that there were only 300 made B/4 the Factory abruptly closed for good (SAY WHAT?) fact is the the Abu Cardinal series was first intoduced in 1965 and the Zebco series was introduced in 1967. did I email the seller with this info? heck no!!!! first listing started @275.00 with no bids was listed again with no bids and is listed again with a starting price of 169.00
