dont know about the price but
the level wind looks used,its not mint,came off a rod,no box
whats it doing with fishing line on it
$72 postage,hes nuts.
If you say it's rare and ask 10x what it's worth some one might buy it. You can't get it if you don't ask.
For that kind of money you could get a high end rod and reel for bid Tuna like a Makaira with a Grafighter.
Sucker fishing.
It's very far from being near mint that's for sure ::)
Marc..
it looks like it has been normal use, the bearing cap on the non handle side looks beat up
Thanks, guys . . . I thought I might have been "missing something" . . . Glad to see I wasn't !
Tight Lines !

A good imagination and the usual owner who thinks his possessions are worth more then anyone else who has the same items. Some times I'm tempted to tell gun owners who want a fortune for a common firearm that they are out of there gourd...but that's not good business ::) ;D
I have several of those with even more boat rash. That should make them worth even more than $1200, right? ;D
That seller is a member here. I PM'd him to enlighten us. He said its on Consignment and he would take care of it. He is just busy.
I am not trying to start up a issue here, but I just want to say that I have valued firearms by the firearms blue book and for other owners for consignment. It's my responsibility to sell an item at it's true value and to make sure the owner is aware of those facts. I realize we are talking about a fishing reel here, but the same integrity applies. It really makes my blood boil when someone tries to take advantage of others...be honest and be fair.
We should remember -- this is eBay -- not a certified appraisal service.
EBay is similar to an Arab Bazaar -- wide open and sometimes wild.
Ebay gets paid whether sold or not -- the seller probably gets paid something from his consignor -- only the consignor loses, since he pays the ebay seller something when the $60 reel doesn't sell for $1200.
The ebay seller has an ebay store, nearly 24,000 (99.9%) positive feedbacks -- and likely just automatically lists stuff for people who do not want to sell themselves -- for a preset fee. He is just working on numbers and volume -- while trying to keep everything running smooth. He is doing listing, photos, paperwork, record keeping, tons of emails to answer questions, $$$ transactions, shipping, packaging, etc, etc... Lots of work.
It is only up to the buyer to be smart about pricing.
After all, we all look at ebay, right? None of us has ever complained that an item we purchased was bought way too cheaply. Why should we complain if it is priced way too high? Just move on to another item.
However, this seems like a good seller,who will adjust the price after he gets time to take a closer look.
Just my own personal opinions --
Best,
Fred
Same seller offering a used ABU bearing for $14.95, they sell new for around $3.00 each.

I know you are trying to help, but I think alot of members would prefer if 'rare' finds are not advertised here before the auction closes. I know there is no policy against sharing EBAY (or other listings) here, and many times sharing local listings of items members may he interested in are beneficial.
This isn't exactly a 'sleeper' listing, and is fair game, but listing rare reels here can and will likely cause an increase in interest, and increased final sale price on an item. So although you may list it here in an attempt to help members out, listing it in multiple places, will likely help the seller, and hurt the buyer(s)/interested members.
I don't mean to single you out, and to be fair members can post what they want to...
Sometimes you might be better off PMimg specific member/members, rather then advertising it for all.
On the other hand, if you are a seller, listing it here as well as EBAY will likely help your cause.
Many other forums have policy in place that prevent
1)Sharing listings from (and linking to) other sites
2)Listing items for sale, that are simultaneously listed on EBAY in an active auction.
Personally, I donn't think we need such policies here, but I just wanted to remind members to give a little thought before sharing active EBAY listings on the site.
Try not to wake the 'sleepers'.
Just wanted to share my thoughts.
I'm really sorry I started to turn this thing around, I should have just kept quiet because I know nothing about E-Bay or any of the internet sales places. However I will say as previously stated it is the buyers responsibility to know what he is purchasing on such a site, BUT we can not know everything about everything...and we should be able to rely on seller honesty regardless. I'm just old fashioned that way, when a hand shake meant something. If my statements offended anyone please except my apology.
I still think it is fair to share with all members on this forum. I only wrote what was in the listing. Why should it be hidden from one & not another. It was public information that was shared. And until it becomes a rule that public information can not be shared here nobody has the right to put someone down for a comment. RUDY

Exactly so. Or, as the saying goes, "
Caveat emptor." :)

I certainly wasn't putting you or anyone else down. Just wanted to share a personal opinion. This site gets over 50,000 hits a day. Many times sellers do not know what their reel is exactly, and may post erronous info in the for sale ad.
This particular reel is a gem, but the seller knows exactly what he's got, so there is no need to hold back from further advertising, or corrections/discussion regarding errors.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion on these matters...I just wanted to urge members to use some common sense before sharing active EBAY Postings.
Personally, I am going to refrain from posting info here, unless it is a buy it now, I am the seller, or the auction has ended. Simply because I don't want to step on any member that has active interest in buying the reel's toes.
As you say, there is no rule against sharing this public information here, as there is on Bloody Decks, ORCA, THT, and other popular forums. I like the fact that we don't have a bunch of restrictive rules here.
Yes today's way of life. Let the buyer beware.
Here is my opinion, I believe this thread is expanding a bit too far :-\.
You have the power Sal. ;)

You can go ahead and delete my posts if you like. Just been thinking about this stuff and thought I'd share my thoughts. Didn't mean to thread jack, or start anything.
Bottomline is everyone is free to do what they like, provided they don't do something bad enough to make them go 'poof' ... of course :)
John, you or anyone else didn't say anything wrong.
Sal
I agree.
John is a stand up guy. I will have to also agree with Sal. This post has nothing to do with our mission here.
I just think we are all bored, and have nothing else to talk about.
I have been slacking on my tutorials. Working a lot of overtime and getting ready for my next Vacation.
Sal. Make it Happen Captain. ;D
