The 308 is going for around 30-40 on ebay.
whats with the line all bunched up on the front end of the spool on the 408, looks odd?

Yes it is - I'd check the inside gear assembly for proper assembly of the eccentric cam/gear which oscillates the spool support shaft in and out - looks like it may be sitting in one postion.......... may have been incorrectly assembled in the past.......... got nothin to loose by takin a peak..........

I'll have a look at the spooling, it seems to oscillate up and down properly I'll re-fill it to double-check the line lay.

Man I really want to take these reels for a spin... but I think I'll keep them safe and clean in storage now that I know how much they're worth

I saw a brand new in-box mitchell 308 pro sell for over $100....

MikeH, any suggestions on the Power Leader 6000... what can I do with it? LOL ... besides looking like an utter idiot while panfishing... LOL *evil grin*
