My first baitcasting reel, a Team Daiwa advantage 150H. normally retails for ~ $100, was marked down to 49.95, plus 50% off lowest marked price. So I got the reel for $25, plus i had a $20 gift card so I only spent $5 out of pocket.

mine would have to be my baitcaster at $30 off! ;D

Would be my 76 ranger,  Its old but it floats and runs like a tiger.  500 bucks the 50 hp johnson is awsome on the small boat.

My wife's nice, too. I bought her a big house and she gave

me the tool room off the garage. Pretty cool, huh?

I feel your pain. Same here. She has 3 rooms with what I would consider useless junk And I get one small cubby hole in the garage.

She's O.K. though. She's let me hang around for 28 years.

;D

My best deal ever would have to be my house. I purchased my house in 2008 for $200,000 less than what it was selling for in 2005. I really cant compare that to the $25 I saved at sports Authority when I bought MY Citica 200e

I bought a citica D at Dicks a couple years ago because I had a $50 gift card.   I was just going to pay the difference in cash when the lady gave me the reciept and the gift card back with $150 on it.  So actually dicks paid me $100 and a reel.  Now the bad news:  My wife standing there says "I DONT THINK THATS RIGHT" .  I know it was the right thing to do, but I was not too happy to say the least.

Nice, I guess we would all like a deal like that. We bought ours back in 2000 when the price was high and the interest rates were 5.65%.

It would be a blood bath if we had to sell it now. Congratulations on the deal.

Quantum Energy $89

A couple of years ago a buddy of mine gave me a custom made 7' Grandt fishing rod that retailed for $400.00. I use it exclusively for swimbaits. ;D

Free was my best deal. I was driving to my dads house on a back road when I found a carrot stick with a daiwa zillion on it laying in the middle of the road.I ran a ad in the paper for 4 weeks and no claims

so I guess its mine.

Having an honest wife is worth far more than 150 bucks and a reel.  So yeah, it probably chafed at you but in the long run, you'll be happier.  JMHO.

BUT BUT BUT havin a Honest wife dont mean she wont do anything bad it means she might try and sugarcoat why the milkman was in  YOUR bedroom when u got home early  ;D

My wife Wanda. Found her while stumbling around drunk 22 years ago down at Crystal Beach. She was 5'4, blonde 118 when we met, now she's 119. She works fulltime and I don't. Lets me fish when ever I feel like it.

PLUS, she knocks down north of a hundred grand a year!

Does she have a younger sister?  Preferably one that will pack me a lunch and unload my car when I get home from fishing?  

recently i got a used abu cardinal 802 for $65, i think retail is $125, so i got i about half off.  i got it here in the flea market too!

Cliff

well i baught my buddys 14 foot jon boat with a 9.9 merc RUNS GREAT for $250

best, best! deal ever. use it every weekend.

Caught a sale at Wally World a few years ago when they were reducing the size of their fishing dept.  Bought about 15 Falcon Originals and Berkley Series One's for $9-$13 each.

The day Dick's Sporting Goods accidently told me that ALL Xcalibur hardbaits were included in the 2.99 sale.  Next great deal (today or tomorrow) will be a Daiwa 153 HSTA NIB for $100.

2003 GSXR 600 for $3500. Absolutely beautiful bike. Retailed at the time I bought it for $5700. Previous owner lowered it 2", put a new header,carbon fiber muffler, K&N air filters and had the computer recalibrated. So he put over $1500 in aftermarket parts on it then he decided it was a little too much of a rocket for him.

A 14' jon boat, 15 hp evinrude from my grandfather (he upgraded), trailer from a neighbor, 34 minn kota for 30$ off of craigslist, New woo davis BPS worm rod and citca E for christmas!!  

Its been a pretty good year!

Looks like you guys got some awesome deals!  My best deal ever would be working for a company for 6 years where I only put in 6.5 hours a day, get off 1 or 2 days extra a week off during the summer time, off all holidays, get sent home early on regular occasions, get 10% of my salary cash for retirement purposes, plus leaving early for doctor's appointments weren't charged against me.  

When I did decide to quit, I was told I could look for work while working there and if I changed my mind about quitting, all would be okay.  

My first Curado, paid full retail. I know how to cast because of that reel. ;D
