In my opinion I think that's a bit generous. You will probably need to get it serviced, new drags and you don't know what the spool looks like as far as possible salt intrusion. I would be more comfortable around $75 to $80 with the anticipated work to be done. Just my opinion.

Tekota reels, aren't really anything special are they?
What's the silver one I like? Oh, I think it's the Torium?  And definitely like the gold Trinidad's!
Does the rod come with it? and if so, what kind a rod is it?
Sometimes the icing is on the rod lol!
But I see those go for about $100 up here in NJ, was looking at some Toriums yesterday, I think they were on star rods for about hundred bucks apiece and in beautiful condition on FB m-place!
I always search a bunch of places first, as I have excessive compulsion problems lol!
Sometimes you can find the same thing brand new online, for the same price used!

There's 3 pages of completed listings on eBay, worth a look to determine value. If it's in good shape $150 is about right

That thing looks beat. The handle knob looks pretty much trashed. The wear on the freespool lever and spool adjuster is suspect. I bet that left side plate is a mess.

Considering I've seen them for the equivalent of $170USD new, I think $150 for a beat old one is beyond generous. I'd drop the 1 off the front as a starting point and go from there.
