What is value of reels? - 12/23/01 05:15 PM

Friend without a computer is trying to get a value range for each of 2 reels

Lamson Saltwater Tarpon with cork drag and spare spoole NIB (never used).

Hardy Perfect 3 & 5/8" reel used once.

Anyone know where here could get them appraised?
thanks

Depends on age and details....for example, there are 1998 Hardys and 1898 Hardys of similar size and description. Need details of the reel. If they are newer reels (and the Lamson certainly is), then Ebay is a good way to go. For example, Ebay currently lists a used modern Hardy 3&5/8ths for $112 (minimum not reached) and a new one for $250. No listing for the Lamson Tarpon though.
