Emailed the guy as soon as the auction was done and dusted to try and arrange pick up he answered my email (which had my phone number in it so I could be called or texted) so I missed out on picking it up yesterday on my way home from Matakohe, all the email said was sorry I missed this email pick up is fine and that was it and no other response to my email, so going to have to pay for shipping now and wait a little longer before i have the reel in my posession mind you scoring a brand new Akios 656 CTM for the price I did win the auction at was one hell of a fluke so waiting that little bit longer is fine by me.
