Keep an eye on ebay, I have bought a couple of the Shimano XS 7000 (the version before the XSA) recently for myself and a few lads. All have been second hand (used once or twice) and todate all have been in mint condition in the region of approx €55.00. All were in lots of two or three in the Bid section. Nice reel, but one area to watch is that there is no line guard (i.e. to stop the line from going behind the spool).
