All my reels are used and 2 rods are used, I've been trying to find a Lew's reel used on eBay but everyone keeps outbidding me

I was thinking about it because I know if I buy a lot of rod and reels then I can save a lot of money buying used or buying stuff on sale. Much like the Quantum Accurist I bought yesterday for $40, I took it fishing today and love it. That's the good thing about those shows, I got a reel for $60 off and it was brand new. To bad those shows only come once a year.

I've bought a few things from BR members and have had good results.  Like anything used you have to make an assessment of the seller and how they treat their things.  If they were pretty quick with pictures and seem pretty honest then you have to trust your judgement.  The higher end reels (200+) I'll probably buy in a store or from local members.

i like finding used deals. just always check out some pictures and use paypal. i havent had any problems and have obtained some pretty good stuff at reasonable prices. plus if u get a good enough deal u can always sell it and get your money back
