Penn International 70 Questions

[Keta]

What were the issues with the 70BGS? 

I also have a late model 70VS (serial # C081196), what changes were made from the early model other than the base?

I plan on selling one and prefer the gear shift of the BGS but if it has major issues I will keep the VS.

What is a fair asking price for a like new International 70? 

The eBay two  listings for a BGS below seems to be ridiculously  high.

This price seems a bit high too?

And the price for this  VS seems far too high.

If they sell for a high price, it's not unreasonable. I'd sell both... you don't need a 70!

True

You can get a better picture of what they sell for on eBay by looking at the completed listings

MSR for a INT70VIS is $880.00, why would anyone pay several hundred dollars more?  I am going to take the line off and try to get $600 each for them.  If anyone here is interested $550 each with the line.
