JDP Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 In this day and age with phone cameras like they are Im surprised anyone would purchase a reel without a few photos. Yes he has done a dodgy deal but why didn't you ask for a photo. The real looks like it's spent part of its life on the sea floor, I have no reels with that degree of corrosion.

I would agree with you if he was buying it from an unknown seller, but NormB has been on that site for ever, and always comes across as a straight laced guy.For someone who you would think valued their reputation this is odd. Nobody would ever describe that as vgc. Hopefully it’s still serviceable though and will be useable. JDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't make sense, can't believe anyone would use the term vgc for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 My thread has been closed and I've had a PM of nick phillips saying that although he agrees that it was misrepresented, no forum rules had been broken If the ad is still running I'll put a couple of pics of the reel on there Maybe stop some other gullible twat from getting caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, if the reel has been misrepresented, do they (does he) need to shut down the thread? Makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent him a reply and also posted some pics on the reel ad Told him it doesn't reflect well on the seller or the site if nothing is done Oh the drama 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think they have made a boo boo, certainly not protecting Norman as now responses will go to the advert, thinking of their low bar I'm expecting a ban.

JonC Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Norm b is a part of the furniture there. More so than any of us were. Probably untouchable.
