Looking to buy one in hopefully the $50 to $75 dollar range. Any recommendations on a good one to buy in this price range?

I have 2 new ABU's 6500 c3's A little more then you want to spend, they are 115.00 each, no tax. I have 3 abu's over 40 years old, still catching fish. They are worth a few extra dollars. these are new in the box, never used.
