Used Pflueger President 30 XT and HMG

[Mike MLM]

Looking for some advice on the rig in the title. I can buy a used President 30 XT and HMG 6' MF rod for $100. I will mainly be bank fishing a reservoir with it. The newer President XTs are a different color, I haven't found any references online to match the picture and am wondering if this is a really old version. 

 

Opinions on price and age of this combo would be most welcome. Is $100 a fair price or should I keep looking? Thanks in advance.

Price seems a little high, but if it's immaculate get it.

Looks the same as the current president XT to me...

$80 reel and $80 rod price seems pretty good?

I'd offer $75.  Used should be less than half of retail when new, not current prices, unless it's a particularly rare or desirable item.  This is a workhorse setup that's fairly common.  It would be a great setup at less than $100.

? Includes shipping? Make sure all the guides are in good condition.

This.  Decent deal at 100 if in great shape.  GREAT (but not unreasonable) deal at 75

Thanks folks. I bought it, it's being shipped. The seller says it's in great shape and he seems like a straight shooter.

Congrats!

I didn't catch that it needed to be shipped.  YEah...if that price included shipping you did ok.
