where can u buy them for that price ??????
Used it once so why are you selling it? Just curious as was looking at some reels to replace my 525s.
Does it hold more/less line than a 525mag? What's it like for casting?

You get them from Avet Magnetic Control Casting Reels
At the moment, the SX5.3MC is £142.99 ex VAT which works out at £171.60 with the VAT added. These prices vary with the exchange rate to the US Dollar.
So if you can get one with guarantee for that price........

The cost of postage is not the cost of the reel. You could buy say a Saltist from your local tackle shop and pay no postage or buy online and maybe pay more in total. That doesn't mean the one bought on line has more value. It is down to the original purchaser to weigh up the preferred method of purchase to suit him at the time.

£181.88 is with postage and VAT. You could walk into the shop and buy it for £171.60. Just add 20% to £143.

ok mate, you try that?
rokmax is the ONLY UK seller of avets, unless you know different?
either way, it a good price, and If I didnt have two already I would be taking it off his hands.
Thats fine if you value it at £150. Its only my opinion that it is not. I have 3 already and would rather pay full price to get it with guarantee.
I honestly hope he gets what he wants for it. If two people agree it a fair price well thats up to those individuals. I am in no way "dissing" this thread and hope it works out for buyer and seller.:thumbup:
