Ebay purchacing can be a risky thing. I am not saying not to try it,
just be careful. I would hesitate to buy from anyone with bad feedback or a new user with little feedback. Between my family and me, we have probably made 3 or 4 dozen purchases off ebay and only been stiffed once, but I would hate to get stiffed on a high dollar item. Remember to see how much they want for shipping and handling before you bid, I've seen $25 shipping charges on a $10 item the size of a notebook. Personally, If I can't save a LOT of money on the deal, I won't take the risk on a stranger miles away. Gone Angling wrote: Could someone give some advice about buying reels on ebay? |

Be careful. A friend of mine got pooched on a 1000 dollar piece of video gear. Seller had good feedback references, too. Because the crook was in Canada and my pal was here in Maine, he had to go thru mucho red tape to get it investigated, all for naught. 10 C-notes gone with the wind. |

![]() Gone Angling wrote in message ... Could someone give some advice about buying reels on ebay? I just made my first purchase on eBay, a used spinning reel. It has a problem which is not consistent with its description of being in excellent condition. I'm not sure what to do if anything. The guy who sold it is a dealer with an excellent rating. I'm almost positive he did not use the reel and did not know about the problem. I'll probably keep it, as it does work, it's just a little annoying. |

for the best deals on ebay, keep an eye on the seller cchrmn and his
auctions. he is a friend of mine who is honest as the day is long and has lots of good stuff. he buys closeout and display reels and will not sell you junk. i also sell under the name bassngear, but am lazy and afflicted with the disease of rather going fishing than working so i have stuff on very rarely. sorry if this is appears as a commercial and deemed offensive by anyone. i just know clete is an honest seller and wont cheat anyone. crownliner "Gone Angling" wrote in message ...
