I don't think he even bothers to change the description, just cuts and pastes from his last listing, or its the same reel and never actually sells

Re: The speedia, ebay and vintage tackle sites
Not wishing to cast aspersions, but I have only ever had 1 package go missing on eBay. It was 2 speedias sent to a buyer who also sells them. They went missing on the short journey from Grantham to Kings Lynn. My fault for not sending them recorded! Lesson learnt.

No mention of postage problems in the feedback...is that the sale you meant?

Re: The speedia, ebay and vintage tackle sites
I recently bought a centrepin off the Bay of E from a seller with 100% feedback. No problems at all the the reel or purchase experience so was surprised to see the sellers feedback had dropped afterwards. When checking the feed back a buyer who people on this thread would be familiar with had put negative feedback about the condition of another reel and the seller had replied that they had offered a full refund but the buyer wanted the refund and to keep the reel..........
Re: The speedia, ebay and vintage tackle sites
In over three hundred purchases on eBay, often high value computer and Hi-Fi equipment. The only thing I had been scammed on is my first Speedia. Guy had 300ish / 100% but used a picture of a Speedia with drag adjustment,which I needed, whilst sending me one without. I tried to get a return but he wouldn't answer. Still bemused by that. One of my plus criteria with sellers is a few hundred sales/buys over a few years. Bought my second tonight; hope lightening doesn't strike twice! I've become less vigilant so may serve me right...
