Here's another guy not to buy from:

auctionittoday137

I bought a Crack 300 from them a couple of weeks ago. Got the reel and it looked OK but a screw was missing on the plate on the case.

I let it sit for a week and then had a few spare minutes so I opened the reel up. I found that the reason the screw was missing was because the screw hole which is cast aluminum and part of the case was broken open.

I wrote to auctionittoday137 and told them. Their response was you had 24 hours to let us know...too late you are hosed.
$110 with shipping and the reel, although usable, is no longer water resistant. I am trying to figure out how to repair the screw hole.
