you're a braver man than I am, Randy. The seller already has negative feedback for non-performance
When a deal is too good to be true.........

I'm sure you will remember the post Hal Harvey put up a little whle ago about some of the frauds on eBay. This very much smacks of one. As I have written in the past, you need to weigh up the cheaper cost of acquiring gear from eBay with the risk and also the lack of warranty. There are a number of highly reliable sellers on eBay but don't forget that there will be difficulty with some warranty claims.

If you buy it locally, you do get that comfort.

if you check the guy's feedback, he sold the same reel 10 days earlier and never sent it. you also have to wonder why he is listing it on ebay australia when he lives in the US.
