So I was bidding on a Curado 50e on EBay, I got outbid days ago and the auction just ended. The ending price for a "new" no box Curado 50e was $182.50 not including the $8 shipping!

$190.50?

Somebody really likes the color green...

Wow. My Chronarch 50e was less than that on ebay!

I've bought them nib for $99 it would be hard to pay double that for one.

Bought mine on closeout for $98.  I might go $130-$140 shipped for a NIB 51E, but no way that much.  BTW, mind telling us what your bid was?  Just curious as to how much you think a new one is worth.

I just bought 2 on eBay a month ago for $140 each... top dollar, but I fell in love with my chronarch 51E's so I figured I'd get the green version. I love the green.

I don't care how anybody slices it, if there's no box it ain't new anymore.

For that price maybe I should throw some on ebay for a good return

I bid $125.99 and figured it may go for $132 tops. Thats$140 shipped.

The add said new in box but it only had one picture of the reel and it was not in a box?

That's just crazy

Goose, I gotta tell ya, after this Winter crammed full of snow here in Cincinnati, I can't to see some green. I LOVE GREEN!....lol.

Hootie

Some folks will overpay for anything. That reel isn't worth $190, especially when you can find them cheaper.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay on that particular day.

First person to send me a PM can have my Curado 50e for $190!  1,2,3....GO! 

You have pm!

J/k but I have been watching some 201e's on eBay and they are going for 190ish. Seems crazy. I picked up a Chronarch 201e for 140 shipped NIB which I thought was fair.

Check that out in a day or two, I'll bet it is listed again. I've witnessed it happen a lot when guys have shills to prop up the price of an item, sometimes the shill gets over zealous and ends up going higher than the retail price and the seller gets stuck with it.

wow...I have a curado 50e with box still...guess I should sell.  

I see people buy curado 50e's for 150-175 on forums and it drives me crazy.. Then I see the curado 200e for like 110-120..
