If it is the old gold colored reel (I owned 10 of them in left hand). They are a discontinued reel. If it is one of the new colored reels (red, blue, new gold), it's MSRP is around the $80 mark and you have gotten a deal.

Tight Lines!!!    

how are the accurist cx500's?

thanks for your replies guys hey reel mech it is the newer gold one I should have asked you first on these reels I know you use them. So how do they hold up I fish 3-5times a week so my reels get some use. thanks again and happy holidays to all.

The Accurist have gone through some changes. They had a problem with IAR's for awhile, but they took care of that issue when they discontinued them for the newer 04-05 versions. As for holding up to 5 day a week fishing they should, but your going to have to take time to keep them full serviced at least twice a season.

Tight Lines!!!    

Thanks fo your reply reel mech Thats all I need to know I think Ill pick up two Of these reels for that price 59.99 is hard to beat Im a daiwa man but Im willing to try these out Ive heard good things so far about quantum reels. Which reminds me I need to get my two daiwaprocasters serviced. Thanks again

I think you will really like this reel.  I have the cx500pt and that thing is one smooth reel.  The only problem I have is that it seems to sit a little high in the reel seat for me (I like to palm my reels).  Other than that I really have no complaints with these.
