...and it hasn't even got its circlip...

Now that is funny. Often the whole net heads come up on ebay for rather less.

I've got one of those (and the net that goes with it). As Beresford says, even complete they don't sell for that much.

There do seem to be a spate of wildly optimistic listings lately, especially tatty old rods that I wouldn't mind picking up for spares or to do a complete restoration on if they were £10 - £20 which is about what most of them are worth, but the sellers start them at a price above what they'd be worth after a full restoration.

I'm glad someone said that; I was beginning to think I was getting paranoia.
Must start doing-up the "doers-up"!

At least it is free postage

I've noticed this seller often has items which to me seem OTT pricewise. The auction referred to may be Geoffrey Collings in Kins Lynn, they have a couple of tackle/gun sales a year.

Yep, he's the one with the really expensive reels.

Ridiculous! Where will it end?

Have a look at the other items,specially the postage price of the Efgeeco rodholdall....
