Just need to decide which landing net to pair with one of these?

This one or This one?

Glad they're discounted!:D

Just more examples of sellers that modify a listing when they are out of stock. They put up the price to something stupid in an attempt to put buyers off. It's cheaper for the seller to do so as if they remove the listing they then have to pay another listing fee when they put the listing back on.
 
5000 xtea

Another bargain on EBay 380467798241 - apparently the best barbel reel ever made. Interesting description and "See the feedback for a very honest seller".

Is this tantamount to a confession?

Jim,
I don't see a problem either and we can't both be selling it!;):p
The best barbel reel ever bit is open to debate, but I suspect that quite a few will agree. The price is a little steep but not too much more than they have been selling for used. The increasing prices apply to most of thee 5000 size Shimano Baitrunners now that Shimano have seen fit to discontinue them.

About a year ago, these were going for around about £70 new. I think that the Codfather might have had a few. It would appear that the size of the 5000XTEA must be key. Incidentally, since the hype on BFW, I realised that I had to have at least a couple so shelled out a fair old bit just to be able to hold and gaze at these precious things knowing full well that their like will never be seen again. Having acquired these modern wonders of engineering, made in ?, I realise that I now have to have the boxes and instructions. I'm happy to pay virtually anything should someone out there contemplate parting with them. In my view, the 6000 and 8000XTEA models are just not worth a candle and consequently priced accordingly. They are hopelessly impractical and worthless against the fabled 5000XTEA.

These badges are no good, just ersatz items.

What I'm looking for is the badge on a ribbon that either Jim or his guest placed around the lucky child's neck. I believe that Jim or his Harley Street dentist placed one such badge around Esther Rancid's neck when Jim arranged to have her teeth reduced in size by 50%. Now, she can just about close her lips around those magnificent gnashers. Judging from photographs of Jim's later years he had abandoned visits to the dentist. Maybe the dental nurses had got to know him. No pun intended, but you'll have to be a bit long in the tooth to recall some the above.
