I don't know how you got the rod, giveaway or auction @ SOL I think, but when I saw the rod @ the reel party (or plug ??? I forget which) it was in pretty tough shape & certainly not fishable in the condition it was in. Several of the guides were busted and the butt section was crushed and had to be cut out. The blank also had the typical battle damage along it's length...
He did a pretty good job fixing it up in my opinion and while I don't know what the value would be for the rod would/should be, that's got to be some $$ in parts & time to redo the way he did it. If someone got the rod that couldn't fix it themselves, they would need to bring it into a shop and pay to have it redone - just to be fishable...
