Re: Auction site gems
I enjoy seeing people getting good deals. Sometimes I am like "dang, why didnt I search [auction site] for that"
I also like seeing what a good deal is or not. Helps with buying/selling goods. It is also cool to see when people buy a reel and it has a rare spool the seller clearly didnt notice, as if they are a pawn shop or other "im not into fishing but, I am selling this product" type thing.

Re: Auction site gems
Not a gem, but a great price on a project reel. Could be worth it just for the spool if you've been looking for one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Team-Daiwa-TD- ... SwfOBdwFtQ

I didn't mean to "call you out" as chickenshit. I don't know you, so that would just be stupid.adam lancia wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:19 amAgreed.

It takes time, effort, and dedication to hunt down these items, especially oversees when you need to overcome the language barrier. Many more factors could be thrown in, but I'll just leave it at that.
When putting in the leg work, only to get burned on a public forum, especially with auctions, prior to said auction ending, you’re raising up the bids considerably, and lowering your chances to acquire these highly coveted items.
If anything, when putting in numerous hrs on a body of water, breaking it down, and pin pointing that hot spot where double digit behemoths are caught, are you going to publicly post the GPS coordinates? Imo, same principal applies here, to an extent.
There’s no harm in sharing your latest auction acquisitions, and I believe this was AB’s intention when starting up this thread many years ago, my issue/questioning is more so with folks sharing links/stores. Whether I “need” these items or not, I’ve never burned sources out of respect for the community/collectors that might be eyeing these items. Just my two cents.
I meant that life is too short to not share. Everything I know I learned from someone sharing with me, whether it is in fishing, or in life in general.
I've worked with carpenters who didn't share, because they were afraid you'd take their job, and I decided I didn't want to live like that.
Sharing is what makes us real people.

~$200 Destroyer Evoluzion F3.5 610Ti, seems like a pretty solid deal. Don’t have any experience with the seller for what it’s worth, but at that price point it might be worth a gamble

Re: Auction site gems
A very nice TDZ 100M just went up on that site, with a good BIN OBO. Not my listing and I’ve already got two of them, but it’s a really clean reel for the price of essentially the handle and spool.
Re: Auction site gems
Not an auction site but I found an lefty Speedmaster 201 in a 7.5/10 for 8,800 yen. These are somewhat sought after aren't they? I'm guessing a tyd price of $100.
Re: Auction site gems
Never mind. They don't ship outside the US. Japanese Ebay sellers are listing reels from this same store with the same pics for more than double the asking price in yen. I saw a reel on ebay for $285 and the same reel is 13000 yen or $115. Many such cases.
