Van Staal VS150
 
Sorry if this is not the correct forum but I was wondering what a fair price would be for my VS150.
I purchased it a few years ago just before Van Staal went Van Zebco. It was used exactly 2 times and there is a scuff mark from a rock on the rotor cup. Purely cosmetic; the rest of the reel is flawless.
Lemme know...Tx

Instead of asking what its worth and getting many different answers do you research and you will know for sure.The internet is a wonderful tool if used properly and google is your friend.

I think about $400 based on what I have seen elsewhere.

I want to thank Ray the maddog for some insight he gave me regarding Van Staal and the differences, history, etc.
The VS 150 reel that I have does have the hex sideplate so it can be serviced at home if you know how to do it. The reel is a gold model that was made in the US before Van Staal went Van Zebco.
-#14 mono is still on the spool.
-The good news is that it was literally used 2 times (caught a few school size blues actually). You could not even see any lines or discoloration where the reel feet attached to the rod seat.
-The bad news is that there is a scratch on the rotor cup where it scraped the concrete. It is purely cosmetic and the rotor is not bent, etc. I called Van Stall and they said the cost of a new gold rotor would be $48 if someone would like to make this reel mint.
I will try to take some pictures of it tomorrow or Fri and post them.
Thanks...

Are you selling this reel and if so for how much?

Surely Bassey 07-10-2009 01:44 PM

I just put the reel on ebay with a starting bid of $299
