Noticed on another board that EBay people are paying rather high prices for old Newells-unobtanium and all that.
Well there are a few sitting unused on the bench now and I have sold things on EBay in the past.
The issue is that one has a broken reel seat as shown and I'm not sure if it's better to sell it 'as is' or both as a package with one as a 'parts reel'.
IMO it's still usable with the supplied clamp but I'm the sensitive type ::) and don't want anyone accusing me of marketing shoddy goods or underhanded behaviour.
So if you had these two how would you feature them?
Any insight out there?
TIA

i have a couple of reel seats. can you give me the EXACT width? and let me know if there are two screws on each side, or three.
I have sold, and do sell, regularly on Ebay (orchids mostly). There is no problem with selling either/both of those reels, and I would probably sell them separately if it were my choice.
There is no problem with selling the reel with the broken reel seat. Just describe it accurately, and post a very clear image of the break (which you've done here). Bidders will take the break into consideration and bid accordingly. The reel with the broken reel seat is by no means a "parts reel".
The guy who get in trouble are those who knowingly try to deceive by posting crummy images and fudging on the description. Omission of the facts is a form of deception, so as long as you describe it accurately, and to the best of your knowledge, there should be no problem.

You have to remove the side plates to get at the screws for the reel seat. There are 2 screws on each side. Be careful the bearing does not fall out of the Clicker side. Nothing should fall out of the Handle side [Better Not].
You never said what model number is on the reel.

3 & 1/8 inches, two screw holes-I assume you take Paypal I'm Happy to take that off your hands if it'll fit.
crud. the only one i have is 2 inches and change. :-\
are you sure about that? i have a newell 533 and the frame is only 2.44 inches. the one you have looks much narrower. i am talking about the width of the base, from inside ring to inside ring. ???
Sorry but I have to ask the same question again
What Model Number Reel Do You Have?
I think you are measuring the outside plate to plate. You have to measure the inside to inside of the plates.

my guess as well.

I just measured a P 338F it came out to 3 1/4" & the 332 is a lot smaller. The measurements are outside plate - outside Plate
Mike
can you measure the inside?
crud, then for sure the only one i have is too narrow.
Well Thanks anyway these are 546-4.6 and are quite wide.
Well that shoots me down. I have nothing that big.
I say part it out. Here's a suggested breakdown.
Reel Seat by itself (AS-IS, For Parts)
Cross Bars & Top bar (Set)
Handle
Spool
Sideplates with screwset and bolt for handle.
You've got one bum part, if sell it as a set and IMHO you'll decrease the all-around value of the remaining parts.
Did you know that you can order a Tiburon upgraded frame and spool for the 546?
I don't think they're listed on the website but they're all over ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=tiburon+546&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=Newell+Tiburon+546&_sacat=0
My bet is that when you see pictures of the frames on ebay, you're going to keep your reel :)

yeah, i won't have one of those either. i do have a narrow frame and spool for the 533. not sure if it will fit to narrow down this reel. would be cool if it worked, though.
How much would you like for the pair, as is? I may have a buyer. Send me a PM.
not sure. i bought them last year for my own reels and never installed them. i will check on the price and get back to you.
Apologies. My inquiry about price was for Carl about the two reels.
