St. George reels are tops. A Hardy rep recently told me that for many years, for comparable sized reels, the St. George had a higher price tag than the Perfects because more engineering went into the St. George although its mechanism appears simpler. Does that sound right? Today, seems that the new salmon Perfects are pricier than their St. George counterparts.

Brian, its an interesting time for reel prices. Some great reels just sit begging even at very attractive prices, while others are commanding surreal prices on the high side.

Ken, regarding the reel in question- if you put it on the forum classifieds at $650-$700, I'll bet you it would not last 10 minutes. If it was made correctly, i.e. RHW, that would be even better feeds@yuku.com (ttrotter) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/143518 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:59:17 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/143512/t/SOLD-Value-of-a-St-George-3-quot-Ltd-Edition-377-500-LHW.html#reply-143512 ttrotter wrote:

I guess prices have really taken a beating in the past several months while I wasn't looking!? These St George reels are worth (imo) about what you good folks say.

Re: Tom's statement, does anyone else think some reel prices have gone surreal?

The auction will definately determine the value of the reel. Anything more than that is the value of one's reputation.

Good luck.

The last one I saw sold for around $600 in unused condition. I would guess yours would be in the neighborhood of $550.

A better indication may be what #76 sells for on the auction site that can not be named. I believe the auction ends next Sunday.

Thinking of selling my St. George 3" LHW, #377 of 500 from the Limited Edition of several years ago.
With the Hardy Blocked leather Case and the makers initials on the inside of the Reel along with the serial #377/500 .... includes factory Original cream colored Box.
Ribbed Brass foot and Brass Rivets.
Just never get around to using the reel; may be the particular 5wt Line I have mounted on it feeds@yuku.com (CtKenC) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25541 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:45:53 GMT
