I doubt that's the only fish in the sea, but it's also possible someone is nearby to check it, and almost certain that someone would offer suggestions that the owner could use to evaluate the reel's condition and reassure through through pics or description. If the would-be seller can't do that, that is all you need to know.

Folks, let's only post tips on purchasing (or selling) used reels (or include links to threads on this site that cover the topic) that will help this potential buyer or seller.

For individual arrangements to help on this particular reel, please use private messages, and I'll ask that the OP check for them next to the logout option at the upper left of the frame. Anyone able to help can give a heads up by posting "PM sent."
