I suppose you could offer up for swap but my intent is to declutter while making sure these reels land with someone who will appreciate them. The last thing I need is more reels or getting into horse-trading with what different reels are worth.

Sometimes "value" is on a sliding scale. I traded a realy nice Jigmaster 501 for a 349H with a cracked sideplate and warped spool.  However the 349 was a FACTORY LH REEL (the AR dog is stamped with 15-349 LH and not like the 15-349) and the only one I have ever seen.  The previous owner offered to give it to me for the cost of shipping, wee both were happy with the deal.  And I had all of the parts to restore the reel, including sideplates, frame posts, rings, reel stand, gears, levers, internals  and a bronze spool, and all NOS.  It looks unused now.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I sometimes used to put them free in FS section but then saw some of that free stuff I gave away end up listed on Ebay right after. I stuck with  secretly including them with stuff I sold, or just send them to unsuspecting people I know will hate to have to deal with them...mostly I give them to kids I know who will need and appreciate them.  A really great guy sorta showed me the way, some of you are lucky enough to know him and will also remember him forever. He didn't make a show of it, nothing he did was known unless somebody blabbed and then I think he was embarrassed. I think I blabbed at least a couple times

I live across from a city park located on Crystal River. I always put my unwanted yet usable outfits over there with a note, free to a good home. Seems to work.

That's a great idea!

Thanks Alan, let's see if this is a winning idea...I figured it was worth a shot.
