Buyee though. Be prepared for a 200+ shipping charge and for it to arrive in whatever box the seller shipped to buyee.

Jauce packs it up solidly before shipping. I tried it once for something I “had” to have and the selling price made sense. But as others have said, it ends up being about $200 in charges for shipping a rod on jauce. So, it has to make sense with the sellers price or your winning bid or you really need to want it. So, at that price it might actually make sense on jauce if someone wanted a brand new WF. Only gamble is you have to believe in the seller which can somewhat be judged by ratio of positive to negative reviews, I suppose.

The last rod I bought on Buyee ended up running me $150.
