Van Staal for Bill and Jules
 
I too would like to help Bill and Jules through this difficult time. A few years back I went through a tough time with cancer treatments. Many people on this site were very, very good to me. Bill and Jules included. There's not much nicer people out there than these two. They have done a lot for many people. Now I would like to offer some help back.

I am offering a mint VS 200B USA made with box and bag. No scratches. 100% of the money from this is going to help them through this difficult time. Along with thoughts and prayers, I would like to carry it a step further with some monetary help.
I put this here in the Main Forum instead of the for sale section hoping it would get more exposure. I would like to get $525 for this sweet reel and I'll cover the shipping or work with whoever buys it for a pickup.

So that's the deal folks. $525 and it all goes to Bill and Jules. Let's help them out.

I'LL TAKE IT......... pm coming for the details. A friend of mine wants to help out and will be taking the reel.

BigBo 06-17-2011 01:39 PM

Sgt, I just got a PM from someone else wishing to buy the reel. If that falls through, you'll be next in line.

So, pending receipt of payment, the reel is sold and for a good cause.
Thanks everyone.


Edit; it turns out the PM I received was your friend Lou.

Thanks for the support everyone.
