look at thier feedback, and remember about shipping and handling, I have gotten great deals on used penns that have cleaned up awesome, but ask for better closeups as sometimes thier version of "light" pitting is far different than yours. I also sell reels from time to time and try to post high quality pictures and describe the reel slightly downgraded because I know how important it is to be happy with the reel you purchased. buying new is sometimes hard, since the price break they may get from buying in bulk is often ate up by the shipping. READ FEEDBACK! really important try to find some that was over a deal for a reel, where the other customers happy with a similiar product?
