I couldn't believe it when I saw it, plus I also found another reel that has a bunch parts that I've been looking for. So now I have 3 coming my way, but two are getting sent back out once I do a little parts swapping.

Have you ever used that spool?

Re: Auction site gems
I sent a alphas sv with that spool to Ian to be tuned. He says it's one of his favorite spools in the alphas (I'm sure that depends on what you plan to throw with it). But $140 for a complete reel with that spool in it I couldn't find the spool much cheaper than that anywhere (usually higher).adam lancia wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:15 amNot yet, but I have it on good authority that's its a beauty!

Not an auction, but a good price on a white python.

It might not even be a particular something you are looking to buy, but maybe someone out there is, and they will thank you for the opportunity.

Re: Auction site gems
It has nothing to do with being a chicken $hit
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.

It’s a pretty small group of sites where you can buy JDM gear without Japanese language skill, so I don’t think there are any amazingly secret revelations being posted here.

Re: Auction site gems
Agreed. I'm not burning this source of mine, especially when I know they aren't going to run out of cool stuff I don't need but definitely covet anytime soon!389Maverick wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 7:07 amIt has nothing to do with being a chicken $hit
