Do you know me, have we met before, how do you know my intelligence levels?

Talk about take my opinion out of context, twist and *******ise it in your own head that I'm somehow jealous... seriously. I knew some idiot would accuse me of being jealous, hey, and you're >that guy<. Give yourself a pat on the head. If you re-read my initial post, I did mention he should sell them for what he payed for them, that's if he did pay for entry to the competition he entered, which if you remember was what he asked (paraphrasing) 'how much should I sell them for'.

Just to be clear: I hope OP gets a job even better payed than his last and that things turn around for him quick sharp and that he keeps the reels, enjoys the use of them and catches bundles of fish with them. I'm genuinely happy that he won those reels. We're not Venezuela just yet. There are support systems in place to help people out who have fallen on hard times. It's not like OP and his family are going to have to scour the forest's hunting squirrels is it?

It doesn't surprise me one bit how people have reacted to my posts, after all, it's just a case of the times we live...

Edited to add: just to say, before anyone else hoists up there memeflag, read what I've said, don't take any of it out of context, only the words contained within those posts of mine are what I'm actually trying to convey; nothing else. There's no hidden meaning or agenda.

Question
In the last 20 and particularly in the last 10 years, have you personally tried to access the support systems you mention, and then support yourself, partner and children on the outcome?
Please consider some kind of help. It is sad to see someone making such a fool of themselves on a public forum.

Yeah, nothing wrong with making a profit. There's staff to pay, rents, suppliers etc. It's not like tackle shops are charities.

Personal question I'd rather not answer on an open forum, but thanks for asking 👍

I'm fully aware that it's s hit and it's not a bed of roses, sunshine and rivers of chocolate, but that's besides the point. There is a safety net.

The o.p is selling them to support his family in a difficult time,I dont get why you have such a problem with that.Then you say about a safety net and support,will you then slag him off for having handouts that your taxes pay for

So it's OK for a shop to make a profit in order to pay staff, rent, suppliers etc but not OK for OP to make a profit to pay for food for his wife and kids, rent/mortgage and bills?

You are in a minority of one and your logic is way off.

So your prepared to pay £600 ish more to a shop than help out a fellow forum member who's been made redundant simply because he was lucky enough to win them.
