Soron SX60 Availability

[MeanMachine]

I have a Abu Garcia Soron SX60 Spinning Reel.  I would like to get another one.  I can't seem to find that particular model in various mail order catalogs & its not on the Abu-Garcia Website.  Is this model discontinued?  Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot find Soron SX60, but found Soron STX60 at http://www.overstockbait.com/Reels_s/4.htm?searching=Y&sort=3&cat=4&show=30&page=4.

Thanks for your help guys.  It must be a discontinued model by Abu-Garcia.  Found some on E-Bay also.

After looking around on E-Bay I found lots of Soron SX60 Reels. However I noticed some drastic price differences for the exact same reel.  Has anyone noticed this?  All are said to be brand new in box but some are priced $40-$50 less.  The seller is located in Las Vegas, has no contact info listed except by e-mail and there is no shipping to Hawaii or Alaska for the reel purchase.  I wonder why this is?  I just don't want to get riPPPPPed off!!!  Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

He has a good rating and I don't understand the shipping.  Flat rate to the 48 states is the same flat rate to Hawaii and Alaska.  Not sure.  Many companies also do not ship to hawaii even if it's flat rate.

Found one on the Swedish branch of eBay, currently dirt cheap but I guess that'll change...

The size is rather large (by Swedish standards) so it might sell pretty cheap with any luck.

Got a brand new one for $51.00 on ebay from somebody who lives in Maui.  Came yesterday, it's awesome!!!
