zildjian Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Hey Guys, My buddy was at a flea market and bought a brand new vintage Shimano Bantam Curado CU 200 (Right Hand) I'm Near Mint Condition. With a tiny scratch on the top. He got it for $20.00. My question is, what is the reel worth? Thanks, -zildjian Quote
plumworm Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 They sold new for $120. I have 8 of them and wouldn't sell them because I don't think you can find a better reel for the money today. Fish with it and enjoy. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 See what they go for on Ebay etc. My guess would be $40+ Quote
Super User deep Posted July 31, 2012 Super User Posted July 31, 2012 I think they go for a little over $60 on the bay. Great reel, I owned a 201 bantam curado for a few months. Quote
New Bass Man Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Priceless! I own four of them and wouldn't sell either for any amount of money. Great fishing machine. Quote
Basswhippa Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 If it is in the condition you describe it could go for $55 to $100 easily, depending on who wants it. I'd guess $80 on average. Quote
Capt.Bob Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 I just sold 2 on ebay this spring, one was a CU200B 3.8:1 the other a CU200B 5:1, both went for over $110.00, he got a great deal, put a Smoooth Drag Carbontex drag in it and a set of abec7 bearings in it and it will be a much better reel than the new G series! I charge $65.00 for that super tune and inspection clean and lube. That would make it a $85.00 Curado on steroids!! In my book as good as the D or E, both bullet proof reels. Quote
zildjian Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 Thank you guys for all your comments! I'll take some pics and show you the condition of this beauty! Quote
