PennRemasterd

Hey guys this is Pennremasterd. I bought a Penn 706z from Member ---->..booboo

This guy tells me the reel is in good/great shape. First he charges me $20 bux for shipping when it costed him 10 bux and change. When I get the reel. It looks like it has been sitting in Saltwater, since it was taken out of the box. PITTED EVERYWHERE. eaten apart all over. Rust coming out of spots I didnt even think rust could build up. The sideplate was plastic!!! The spool was destroyed!!! The part where the drag washers goes was soo pitted the c ring doesnt stay in. The drag knob was cracked an broken. It was not even a 706z top. Its from another penn series. not the z or spinfisher series. Also the thing was put together with broken left over peices. Then I start to dissemble it. And there are screws that were broken into the housing. That hold the bearing plate inplace. I Cannot even get them out. The heads are broken off.



JUST BE AWARE THAT THIS GUY IS A FAKE, AND LIKES TO TAKE PEOPLE FOR THERE MONEY!!!! PLEASE BE AWARE!!!!iT IS

I"m not taking sides, but its kinda like EBAY when you have'nt seen the product in person... The shipping cost could be for packing materials, and not just postal shipping..When buying from a forum member, I also always look at there posting, see if there always buying or selling stuff...

booboo's membership seemed to be about nothing but personal gain so his membership is no longer active. If you guys see any other members like this, let me know so I can remove them.



This is not E-bay....

Thank you. He called me a yankee and said Ill come meet you and kick my ass. Then asks me to send my reel back and he will send my money to me. Yeah right. Take both the money and the reel probably. He shows you a nice reel and then sends a POS. I thank you for your efforts and appreciate the help.

I am sorry to hear someone had a bad experience.

I bought a boat from Boo Boo yesterday and it was exactly as advertised. We had a pleasant visit and talked a lot about fishing. My take is that he is an ardent fisherman. We looked at his flats boat andhis Mako he is rebuilding.

My experience with him has been positive and he knows a lot about fishing, which he is willing to share.

i could probably find the thread but, i don't want to. chris couture laid some ground rules for "before you can start posting for sale items" and as i remember it was a 20 post min. not 20 visits...20 posts...and as i recall, booboo and others come out of the chute selling...:nonono

"this is not e-bay":clap

Mike's right - I don't care if the guy is honest as the day is long. If your sole purpose is selling stuff - go to ebay. The sales area is more for forum member's conveninence - it's not a freakin' retail outlet.

well then...I suppose he will have NO problem with a FULL refund then.....

REEL STAMAS

I thought it was interestingwhen he bought those 80W PennCombos on this forum & then posted them for sale herethe nextweek at roughly twice the price he paid... Not that I'm against capitalism-(as I like to make a little money as much as the next guy), but I just thought that was a little over the top... When someone questioned his 'ethics or motives'(or whatever), he responded in a rather threatening matter..i.e.= "if you've got a problem w/me let's meet in person so I can straighten you out" or something like that... Hope you get your refund... Sounds like you've got very littleleft to lose- as the reel isn't fishable from your description...

Sounds like booboo needs an attitude adjustment, funny how people get mighty brave and tough when they are in their car or behind a computer sceen. ATTABOY to Chris for getting him off forum! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
