I just took a look on the Electrimate website and it tallied the total cost for one Gear sleeve as $158. This does not sound right. Why would one be that expensive?
Ben
not sure. i have 4/0's and 6/0's and they are nowhere near that price.
Alan are you Gear Sleeves back on Penn Parts?
Ben
should be. i am out of 4/0's, so you will have to go to mysticparts.com. more 4/0 gear sleeves will be here in a month. for the 6/0's, the retaining pin hole was cut too high, so mysticparts send them back. since then, i have shaved down the retaining pin and it works, but i am not that happy with it. it is not something the mysticparts should carry, since it had to be mcgivered together. i will send them the next round with the pin hole properly cut.

Yeah and the $80 shipping too. Doesn't make sense?!
well, it does if you figure that my margin is $3 and their margin is 300%....

Yeah. Can't beleive it comes down to that, but thankfully for you it does. I thought I could get a spare sleeve before buying yours on Penn Parts later, but I think I will wait till they come. Those are great sleeves Alan! Worth every penny.;)
Ben
I should start selling my SS dogs for $15.00 ea....NOT!!!!
So they went from 55.00 to 80.00 man they are getting a little crocked on there bottle of gin.
maybe they figure that, if the gun market can get away with that, so can they.
Yup guns have gone through the roof.And ammo has too.
Ben, what do you need? I purchased a few SS gear sleeves for the 4/0 and 6/0 from Alan for my reels that I never used. Same cost as Alan's plus shipping. PM me with what you need.
Bryan
bryan, if you have extras, i need one more as well. a guy needed four and i could only ship three.

Hey Bryan. I was looking for a gear sleeve for the 6/0. I do not have the money as of now for one. If it is okay, can I P.M you a couple weeks for a order? I should have enough money by then.
Ben
Ben,
Alan still has 6/0 sleeves. Not to worry. If he runs out, I'll probably have at least 4 that's reserved for my reels if I ever get around to it or not if I decide to sell them.
