Cracks me up, I paid just over $40 for mine brand new in 1974. Now there are lot's nicks ticks rock rash and even my SIN # engraved  as back then it was said to deter theft. It's probably still worth $40 LOL - but it works fine.

This reel in decent shape should sell for $300-$400. 
Ralph I bought my first one in 1980 and paid $89.99 and I thought it was high.  The pre-war Super Silex Dural sold for $8 in 1933.  Now if it is in excellent shape they are going for $1000-$1500.
