It gets even better!

$114 for the eccentric lever...$80 for the bearing/retainer...$80 for the Bail release assembly...$113 for the pinion gear...

So, with the initial post above this makes for $498 "worth" of parts....that wouldn't even make a complete reel.  Oh...and none of the above listed the sideplate as included!

The axiom holds ever true...buyer beware!

At least it was worth a laugh! ;D

I admit that I actually emailed him thru eBay, pointing out the fact that he was asking $114 for a $2.10 eccentric lever...and I gave him a link to scotts b&t...

I have doubts that I hear back, but it's fun...for me at least!

Sleaze Bag! E-Bay people like that are the reason I avoid it. This was discussed on another post a while ago about E-Bag. Ill stick to the people I have gotten to know and trust here.

People that know the proper pricing on these items, IMO should call that person out on his off the wall pricing.

For me, it makes no difference what folks price items for on ZooBay.

Ebay makes their $$$ on a listing -- the buyer needs to decide if it is an acceptable price, or not.

Simple.

I have yet to see anyone complain when a seller unknowingly lists an item for a price under the market -- on a "BIN -- Buy it Now" -- except the folks who did not see it in time to snap it up.

Just my opinion...

Best,

Fred

I did get several responses from the seller...which only confirmed the initial assessment highlighted above...
