I've seen this several times in the past 6 months or so. It will be up for a couple days and then disappear. Anyone know anything about this?

I've never seen one before and do not know a thing about it but 7.54 for an uncommon reel might be reasonable just to take it apart and see what's inside.
If you went down in the post the guy wants $1000 for it

About 3 months ago I informed Ebay of this false posting and they removed it... it has since come up at least 4 times.
Don't get sucked in, but if you just have to get ready to call PayPal... you are not getting that reel.

Dom is on the mark. It is a scam that has been going on for years. just ignore it and you won't get bitten.

It is an early , Gold anodized Kovalovsky reel.
Ray
Thanks Ray. Sorry I missed it.

Thanks, Steve, I had missed it too.

I have nicknamed this reel The Flying Dutchman because of the way it mysteriously appears and disappears. Apparently eBay can't stop it from being reposted and can't disable the account. Keep yer eyes peeled and yer dubloons handy and ye might just git lucky, errrrr!
I think we would have better luck dropping 1K all on black at the roulette table... ;D. Bill
This can't be a scam. I sent a $1000.00 money order to Nigeria to pay for it. Adamma Adebesi, the seller said he will ship it immediately after he gets the money. Dominick
I bid $10 and was the highest bidder for a sec

A quick story --
There was a bunch of junk on our property when purchased some years ago -- loaded up (4) 40 yard dumpsters.
One thing too heavy and too big to go into a dumpster was an old Moline horse/tractor Manure Spreader from around 1920 -- out of Minneapolis, Minnisota -- I only know this because the great old painted logo is still intact on the sides, and it has those neat old yellow steel spoke wheels.
Put an ad on Craigslist -- had no idea what this was valued at -- so just said $1000, OBO.
Within 10 minutes I had an email from Adamma's brother saying he has been looking for one of these -- offered up a email address from Eastern NY -- and said he would have his purchasing agent pick up the Manure Spreader within 1 week.
He agreed to the asking price, and wanted my pay-pal or bank routing information to conclude the transaction.
I told him that he likely didn't need a manure spreader -- he was doing a good job on his own without it.
I still have it -- and may just make a planter out of it -- kind of cool.
Best,
Fred
Love the "Adamma" reference.
Cool looking turd shooter, Fred ;)
Dom
Hahaha...."turd shooter".....
Great comeback Fred!
This story reminds me of...
One of the farmers whose land we hunted for years in NODAK who had one of the largest collections of 'Moline of Minneapolis' farm equipment in the country. I enjoyed having him show us everything (which occupied 3 large quonsets). Not sure if I remember a manure spreader? His wife liquidated the entire collection at a single auction upon his passing several years back.
