Hardy Marquis #6 fly reel value?

Hi,

I just purchased the reel as described above which includes an extra
spool. It's in good condition with minor wear. Don't know how old
exactly. but I know they were made between 1977-1999. I paid about
$136 for the kit. Does anyone know what the value range are of these
approximately?

Thanks,

JT

Ouch. Oh well, I guess it being my first Hardy, I have a lot to learn.
By the way, is there any good online database or guide for valuing a
potentially collectible reel? I've seen a book ( the Dunkeld
collection) that spills the beans and does it well apparently.

Forget about collecting. Fish with it. That's what it was made for, and
it'll do it beautifully.
