My mom was at a yard sale today. She told me they had 16 reels in the packaging(in this case green Shimano boxes.) Said some were brass looking and some were green. The lady was asking 15 a piece for them. She left without buying any of them! Now I'm in a race to get to said house before they are gone. Bet me I can't turn a sick profit if all those reels are what I think they are.

At least you got a courtesy call. My mom would have bought me a shirt that said "Mom went to a yard sale and all I got was this stupid shirt" and it would be 2 sizes too small.

She does good with buying me fishing stuff. Especially baits and what have you. She buys them. Then I refund her the money.

A 70 or 80 something year old hunchback beat me to them! I figured it was a slim chance. However I did not expect d**n Quasimodo to beat me to them. That fool bought all the fishing lures and the reels. The reels were 8 Sonora's, 1 Calais, 4 Sonoma's, and I believe they said 2 Cayans. (The 2 Calcutta's had sold earlier) Now I ask what the hell is a hunchback gonna do with all those d**n reels? Sit there and drool over them while wishing he could still stand upright to fish?! I asked him if I could give him 20 apiece for 2 of the spinning reels. "I'm sorry I just don't think I can do that, young man." Dude you just paid 15 a piece for them, take the 10 dollar profit and stop hording everything. There was piles of junk all through his truck. Filling the rear seat and the front seat. Straight out of the show borders. Had a Hoyt sticker on his back glass too. I know good and dang well his butt can't draw back a bow. Probably had 4 compound bows in there too. Ugggghhhhhh!

On the plus side. I did get my 5yr old a pair of hunting boots for this upcoming deer season. Only 10 bucks for them too.

I cringed as I read that.

I was typing in a hurry.

What I am saying is that I cringed because a calais for 15 dollars is a huge steal! I would need a few days to recover if I missed out on that.

He might have time to use them since he doesn't spend 2/3rds of his day posting random nonsense on a website. lol

Hey, I get paid for half those post.

Now just picture Quasimodo holding a fishing rod. Tell me if you see it ending well. Besides I only wanted the Calcutta's, which he didnt buy. I was gonna hook y'all up with the rest of them for between 20 and 30 bucks a piece. Kind of a raffle or something like that. Maybe as a kind of contest.

Too bad you missed it. That sucks, dude.

I would be first in line for the calais at 30 bucks.
