I have found that if your looking for deals on Ebay you must be wise to the local prices of whatever your looking for.

There are deals out there! I hooked up with a seller who happens to be a Abu rep in Sweden. I guess with the currency exchange both parties are happy when you buy from him because I recently purchased a Abu 6500CS Pro Rocket(Pro shop) for $89 plus $10 for shipping. That reel locally(if you can find it) sells for $150+. The same guy has the 7000 model for $99.
I personally sell the fluke(squid type) rigs I make on there for around $1.50 each. I make a little $$ and the buyer gets his rigs for about half of what the shops sell them for.

You can get a great deal on sinkers, fluke ball jigs and hooks on a regular basis if you put some time in looking.

I will say that its alot harder to get a deal now as some people just dont get it!! Saw someone pay $115 for a Penn 750SS a few weeks ago.
