Obviously you were happy with the sale when you did it so why look to make yourself miserable now? Unless you have a second one to sell?
I understand about the relative values of old reels. I was more than happy to get what I did for the reel. I couldn't use it where I live but it bought me two other quality freshwater reels. Like finding money on the sidewalk.

That said, I'd seen some stuff on the internet that caused me to wonder if I'd shortchanged myself through my own ineptness at knowing the market, and reluctance to dicker. Just asked to satisfy my curiosity, and perhaps to let someone else use a lesson learned.

Even though the wedding cake was pretty heavy, I'd have kept it for freshwater if it had been a left-hand wind. It's a quality reel.
