SilverDoctor Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Over $200 as you have the case. Depends what size Marques it is. It is a newer one not pre 60"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Some one told me that at one time (now?) Hardy put engraved serial numbers on the first 1000 of a new model. (I have a modern ultra light that is numbered.) If true, that would influence price, but it is not apparent on the face of this reel. Very nice reel. My Marquis has the most annoying drag "click" ... you want to fish alone if yours has the same. Bugs the heck out of your partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Actually I grew up the the click drag and love it the sound. The marques is quiet compared to my big perfects and St. John's. Now there's a nice loud classic sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhuseby Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have a Marquis #6 that an uncle found in the basement of a house he bought. Unfortunately the reel foot is curved and will cost about $150 to replace, according to Hardy. I wonder if that says anything about the value of it ? Probably not. However, I am wondering if your reel also has a curved foot? If so, maybe it was a design to match specific rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
