Price " a reel?
For Padrós i Enric Casanova / José Luis Lake
Occasionally receive messages asking us to evaluate or assess a reel . Especially in this time of crisis, many seek to take some Styes to that thing that had drawn the storage room to which no value and are thinking of throwing it away, or as with the gold and jewelry from home , is committed to what has the greatest sentimental value, when the need tightening. However, the very crisis we are involved, has contributed to the lower reels from just a couple of years.
But this great party is over, as if it were a hangover from the crisis made more than one desist from paying what was no longer reasonable for a modest economy and, above all, the collector became more selective. Today is not that the models have to be paid , but not paid for all . most abundant type models 46, 51, Super .. became objects of a few euros, especially if they are badly worn.
must be taken into account that initially there might be a jerk just because many people suddenly interested in collecting, and precisely because this blog started to give information of certain reels that more than one veteran fisherman had never seen or heard of him.The market therefore has become more selective and only pay While these types of reels:
1) The reels are very few : Well because few models were made or because different circumstances there are few at present with good conditions of purchase. This information on which models in particular are treated "Nostalgic" is the reservation and not disseminated to avoid precisely the feed the hunger for wild speculators . We are collectors and do not want these models if you have a follower, as prices rise to disproportionate precismamente by our data. Logically, most collectors know which models are, but hopefully we win the lottery some day in a flea market, thrift store, selling a particular internet auction ... get that piece that we need at a reasonable price. SPEAK IN ANY CASE OF POOR MODELS, FOUR OR FIVE FROM A RANGE OF DOZENS OF REELS, SO MOST OF THE MODELS OFFERED PRICE RANGE ARE MEDIUM-LOW.2) Reel Brand new with original box and brochures . If a reel is new, packaged, any model that is as it was sold in the store will always be more valued than the same model but old, worn, scratched ... If we add that we have the original box and booklet, it is always a part of more value and more interesting than another worn, any damage, as happens in the seals, lower its value.
3) Reels used but in good condition . And enter a level lower than the previous assessment, especially if we have no box or brochures, but it is always better than a badly worn.

One of the virtues of man is to be curioso.Curiosidad for all or almost todo.La curiosity is a source of knowledge, curiosity is well spent entiende.La human curiosity is endless, and our fans specifically fronteras.En there are many questions that we often make us regarding our pasión.De among them stands out for its importance, the real value of our fishing reels.
We start with a base.No're dealing with a material that is currently in the trades of ramo.Asi for who or what affect the value of these reels?. I'll try to list the most common affecting the price recovery in them.
First of all no doubt be their general. A fishing reel almost new or almost new, with the appropriate packaging, descriptive brochure and other accessories, like winding parts (if any), oil (if any), and even with appropriate guarantee card will undoubtedly a much higher value to another reel identical but that lacks all the accessories listed.Second, the value will be affected by the number of reels made of a particular model , even if it can be said to be a factor to consider may be the case reels fishing which manufactures a quantity and sometimes for reasons not entirely logical at present there are few examples.
Sometimes the reason is not entirely logical or understandable, without knowing how or why a model can reel be in everyone's mind and each of the collectors and this of course expensive recovery.
is the eternal law of supply and demanda.Carretes of a particular company made a small print run because of their lack of acceptance in his day among the group of fishermen today time can be with an astronomical price given its scarcity in the market.
Finally this brief overview of the value of a fishing reel, recommend when in doubt always consult whenever possible on whatever we want to reel in question. must think primarily a fishing reel in its purest form is best, but it will not always be posible.Tenemos to know the most as it was in his day the reel we are passionate about their possession.
