Caution When Responding

Still on the hunt for a nice Bronson Black Master if anyone knows of any for sale, please send me a message. I put a WTB message on the buy, sale, trade forum and did get a private message from an individual I think may have been trying to scam me. He had just joined the Reel Talk that day and when I asked for pictures, I never heard back, been over a week ?

Send a message to Brian Funai and/or Matt Wickham and give them the fellow’s name. If he is dirty, he slipped thru the cracks and we want him gone!

Will do John, I agree seemed kind of off to me. Kind of hope I am wrong, but sometimes you just go with your gut!

Mark, your risk is probably low but thanks for reporting that.

Here's a post about taking precautions:

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?
