rules for selling stuff

[barra mick]

I think we should have a forum rule for selling stuff

a lot of people don't know what a second hd reel or rod is worth and a lot of people are just trying to learn how to fish and need to learn how much to pay for fishing equipment..sometimes the people with knowledge are taking advantage of the battlers

and then when u point out that they are being ripped off the moderators are taking away the posts helping the sellers rip the average bloke off

luckily I was able to save a poor family man yesterday who was looking at getting ripped off before the moderators pulled the posts down....he was able for the same money of one reel buy both his boys a reel with a spare spool a good reel that will last his boys decades

this site should be abt helping people learn how to fish and sharing knowledge...not the dollar

You have no idea mate. The reel price on the box was $1349 if you look at the pictures. Nothing wrong with using a $200 reel but find me a $200 reel that has 30kg drag and is used primarily for chasing some of the strongest fighting sportfish in the ocean. Even the fact that i had given 2 examples of people that had paid 750 and 760 for used ones in the last month still made you agree with a stupid calculation of $250.

Different setups for different situations. Example: One of my mates this week from a tackle store recently had a customer that placed an order for 21k worth of daiwa marine power 3000 electric reels. Each reel is 4k+. Why does he need it because he is fishing in 1000m of water and the reels hold 1400m.

Do some research before you bag out people! Some people might think that your crazy for spending $200 on your reels. That's there opinion. Each to their own. I have cheap stuff and yes it works for most things and I have expensive stuff. Which is my choice!!!

Maybe you should point the finger at the stores and the fishing companies that sell the product at the prices they do.

They pulled your posts because you guys were out of a line. Did you see how people started agreeing with what the moderators did. But yet you still want to keep going on.
