Any guesses on value of a mint abu 5000 from mid 70s? with box and accessories?

Hey all

Just kicking the tires here but any guesses on value of a mint abu 5000 from mid 70s? with box and accessories?

Is $300 too much or ? The reel has never seen life outside the leather box...thanks

here's a pic with accessories...

And no I'm not selling it in a circular way...I'm looking at buying possibly from a collector.

You may have better luck in the UK market. Try google.co.uk and enter 'antique tackle dealers' and it should provide some useful links.
