Title: Value of Abu Garcia Ambassadeur S1600 C Baitcasting Reel
Post by: rakulack on December 23, 2021, 06:01:52 PM
Picked this Nice little reel,    Abu Garcia Ambassadeur S1600 C Baitcasting Reel  at an estate sale and can't find a lot of information on it.  It was made in Sweden about 1996 and has 3 bearings and is in great shape.
What would be the value of this reel?    I listed it on ebay at $140.  Is that a reasonable price?      Thank you for your time.   Roger

Hold it a little closer to your computer, Roger —

We can't see it.

Thanks!

Best, Fred

Well, to be honest, 140 bucks is um... wishful.
30-60 depending on condition and box is more realistic.
Good reels though; people still want them.

I think I understand now some of the surprisingly high listings I see on there sometimes.

In my experience I check the recently "sold" section. This gives you a decent idea of what someone is willing to give.
