AVET LX 8.0

Post by Sallysea »

I have two Avet reels, LX 8.0 and JX 8.0. Avet no longer makes these reels. Both are new with their boxes. Any idea what they are worth?

Your best bet on finding a close current value would be to check eBay's completed/sold listings.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

They seem to be sufficiently rare that I cannot find them anywhere on line.

You can get some relative guesstimates on values from these listings: https://www.tackledirect.com/shop-avet- ... type=Reels

Although not identical, they should be ballpark high end values. You just have to find the right person that happens to love the older models. Not sure that you will find anyone with enough foresight to consider these for collecting.
