[makoslayer]

Decent Deals that I have found through Amazon. Plano is running a deal right now $10 off of $50. So you can get quite a few storage containers. There are some decent deals on the page. Check it out. If you are looking for something in particular leave a commend and ill do my best to find it.

Updated with:

Penn Spinfisher V is actually a pretty decent price.

4500 is $119.99 the others are very moderate too. 133.99 most expensive i think is the huge reel @ 155.99. any ways awesome deals for a great reel. Ended up picking up two of the 4500.

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP "Fiskadoro" :cheers1: :you_rock:
WOW!!! Even with my connections I still paid more for of each of the two :eek: I bought for my inshore stuff Hali's, sandies & calico's. I should buy a couple/three :confused: more for throwing swimmies for bucketmouths & jailbirds (= Mr. Stripee). That 's either a misprint or an overstock/clearance, but whatever we should nap them up! :D

Just placed an order for 2 more! :D

I'd say it's got to be a mistake. They are listing the vender as Shimano. Worst case scenario they don't send them and you get Amazon to give you a refund. I've filed a few claims with Amazon and always got great service, either the item or my money back.

[MrPatrick]

Picked up two. I usually hear that I have too much gear, today she said that's a great deal. You should get two! 😍

[DanaPT]

Thanks Fiskadoro. . .

a $250 reel for $80 + tax I had to get it.

Delivery Estimate: Friday July 19, 2013 - Tuesday August 20, 2013 by 8:00pm

I guess we'll see if it's truly the 300ej or something different.

[t.n.hughes]

I just ordered one. Don't know if anybody else noticed this but amazon is giving a delivery date of 7/22 through 8/22. These gotta be a deal from the factory.

I've never run into that problem (fortunately) with Amazon.
Shimano might be clearing their inventory, making way for the new TranX. I'm going to check with Shimano, or a distributor on Monday.
I hate having to switch my bass reels from one rod to another, or in this case from fresh to saltwater rods. :rolleyes:
Has anyone noticed that they're not showing up in catalogs?

From the other thread on this deal:

Bought another Curado. A buddy that works for Shimano said they're getting discontinued. Newer model is going to be smaller with larger line capacity.

Did you order one?

I'm thinking Shimano is coming out with a replacement at ICAST and blowing out the old models. Hence the shipping delay. I heard they're coming out with black Terez rods too... about time! Now if they could just put black knobs on the Trinidads and TranX.

You know I considered it but I did not order one. :rolleyes:

I've got so many reels and since I always fish spectra I really prefer a magnetic over centrifugal braking. It's so cool that everyone is going to get one. It's not a reel I use but they are great reels and I knew you guys would have good use for them which is why I posted it here.

Happy endings all around :cheers1:

or i can i still get in .

[DanaPT]

Had two orders made on different days. They cancelled the first order... no explanation- just gone.

The 2nd order is still in the system.. no email about a mistake or whether that order will be filled.

not feeling so sure about this anymore.

[CR Yaker]

At least they, Amazon, are being consistent other than the email notifications. Also cancelled my first order, but the strange part was that I had another totally different item with the Curado ordered. Just wiped it away.
Let's hope they make good on one reel each, not holding my breath though. They will hear about my displeasure. Especially after the first email saying they would make good on one.

[Old Man in the Sea]

I got a surprise email today from Amazon and now they said they were able to successfully cancel some orders with later time stamps and that would be able to make good on both of my cu300ej orders now for a total of 3 curados.... :drool5::reel::reel::reel:

[CR Yaker]

Just got off a chat with Amazon about the cancelled orders. They informed me that all orders with as they say "incorrect pricing" will be cancelled, in time. Hopefully the agent I spoke with doesn't know what they are talking about. I expressed my unhappy feelings after they gave us hope with the first email sent out. Sorry for the bad news.

:(

When I say unkind words, I may have exaggerated, I only let them know my displeasure in getting my hopes up with the first email and then dashing them. There is really nothing we can do or say here except that which I mentioned. ;)
I would disagree with you kindly that everyone knew it was a mistake. I didn't, when placing the order. Only after the fact when Amazon notified us and said they would honor one reel per order and that they had made a pricing mistake. Only to later change their decision again to none.
This isn't some Bible camp decision here about "what is right". It's strictly about business and how a business conducts itself with it's customer.

[FishNinjaY]

I've overheard people talking about this Amazon price error deal at Sav-on Tackle, and again at Turner's another time. They must have lost TONS of money over this error. I say bravo Amazon for even honoring 1 of the reels. They could have just said "NO", and cancelled all of them. Seems like a fair response on their part, to me. Wish I caught it. Oh well..

Respectfully, have you ever read the fine print in most retail ads? Business have the right to limit quantities (and amount per household which is what sounds like what happened to many people here). They have the right to end a sale @ any time and usually there is a contingency caveat for mistakes like this .
Maybe it's because I know (a little) about the fishing industry, :)...but with all due respect do you "seriously" think the cost of a Curado 300EJ IS $80? :rolleyes: I knew it was a mistake as soon as it was posted! I ordered 3 but still feel fortunate to still have been allowed to buy one(I almost placed an order for 100 just to sell on ebay & make extra $ :D . With twitter, IMs and everything I'd hate to be the employee that was responsible for posting that ad, and the $ that Amazon lost. I'm sure SHIMANO didn't offer them a discount for the mistake that was made. SHIMANO will be busy trying to fulfill the extra quantity that Amazon sold and I'm sure SHIMANO had a say in the matter!.
Since I already have 2, If I wanted I could turn around and post on eBay and make a quick $125-150 easy.
Glass half full...I bought a Curado 300EJ FOR $80 :eek: :D
JUST MY $.02

You guys all think your still getting one reel. But after my conversation with Amazon this evening and she talked with her supervisor, she said I wouldn't be getting any of the reel orders, let alone even one and that all mispriced orders for anyone would be canceled in due time.
I hope she was wrong but I think she was telling me the facts.:doh:

I don't disagree that Amazon has a right to cancel all orders but have a slight disagreement when they mislead folks into thinking they are going to get one reel and those folks go out and buy a rod in anticipation, only to find out they are getting nada, zero.

Houston, I think we have a problem.

That's news to me...the last message I received from Amazon was that they were going to honor one per person. If they changed their mind "again" to cancel all orders, I'll be having a discussion with SHIMANO :mad: , since they have a say in the order and might have canceled the order due to demand (hence the ship dates I've seen posted) and don't want to sell the quantity that has been ordered @ that kind of loss. :the_finger:
If these orders do get canceled this will be the biggest cluster_____I've ever seen from them that I'm aware of.

You are correct. Remember all those messages we receive from Amazon are computer generated. I trust my personal conversation with a representative more than those messages. Would someone else please contact an Amazon representative and confirm or contradict my findings with them?
Thanks

[medina760]

I contacted them like 2 days ago, they said I'm gonna be able to get 1.

[Raskal311]

If we had made this less public to keep the order amount low as a couple of us had suggested early on I don’t think we would have this issue :S First rule of a price mistake or better then average deals is to never contact the seller. Rule 2 is to keep the ‘deal’ contained until the item is in hand.

Postting on other forums and ordering too many is a no no. Some of us may have ordered one or two but i'm sure retail stores may have jumped on the deal and ordered dozens.

ß Long time slickdeals.net member :D

On a differnt note I got my Shimano Calcutta today... Yayyy me.

[Fiskadoro]

First rule of a price mistake or better then average deals is to never contact the seller.

That's my experience as well. As a buyer you want to act like it's just a normal purchase and as if you fully expect to receive the item at the price you paid.

My take is that when you purchase something the description of the item is like a contract. The seller is offering the described goods or services at a set price it is their responsibility to honor it.

They can refuse to honor the contract but you don't want to make that an easy option.

If you call them up and say: "Hey this looks wrong, it's a obvious mistake, are you really going to send me this to me?" All you have done is made it easy for them to say: "No it was a mistake we'll issue a refund!!"

I mean I hate to point out the obvious but the customer service people at Amazon can cancel an order and issue a refund at any moment. It's a option on their screen when they pull up your order. In a case like this why wouldn't they cancel it, especially if they think it's not going to be a big issue with you. It's their job to help you to an extent but it's also their job to save the company money. You want those auto generated notices that say this will be shipped shortly, not someone on the phone that can say: OK.... now that looks like a mistake. I'll just cancel this right now and issue you a full refund."

The last thing I would do is call them, or contact them.

In fact the only reason I'd contact them is if I did not get the reel and then I'd call them and tell them I bought a reel at a set price we have a contract and they need to honor that contract if the want my business in the future.

[Raskal311]

Main reason not to contact the seller is to not alert the employees of the deal. Many times they would jump the line and take it for themselves.

[CR Yaker]

There are different ways it could work out. You guys are making up your plot. How about this.
If you did call them and complain about one of your orders being cancelled and enough people made noise then they would think twice about cancelling the single reel they promised.
Whereas, if no one makes any noise, then they figure that they can just go ahead and cancel all orders.

In my case they cancelled other items along with the deal on a single order, I wanted to know why? They then informed me of the cancelling of all orders of the mispriced reel and that I could just reorder, obviously at the higher price.

Story can be molded however we like. Fact is, let's just see if we do get that one reel, long time between now and end of July/August. Really it's no big deal, what's a few bucks when I can be doing this :reel:

[Fiskadoro]

In my case they cancelled other items along with the deal on a single order, I wanted to know why? They then informed me of the cancelling of all orders...

So in other words you put in a multiple reel order. They sent you a notice saying they were only sending you one. You then called to ask about the ones they cancelled and they then after reviewing your order told you they were cancelling all your orders.

I'd say there is a pretty fair chance that those that got the notices that they will get one reel will in fact get one reel and that now after talking to customer service all your orders are cancelled.

The last thing I'd do is call them especially after hearing about your experience.

Okay, let me explain this one last time. Currently I do still have an active order that says I am going to receive one reel solo. What I did call about was a separate order with separate items and one of these reels. This order was totally erased cancelled. The agent spoke with a supervisor and informed me that all orders with the so called "incorrect pricing" would be cancelled in due time including the active order I still have for one reel and that I could go ahead and reorder the items erased with the reel for the correct pricing.
I then expressed my displeasure in this action by Amazon by pointing out to her that they sent out an email informing us of making good on one reel. She then informed me that eventually those orders would also be cancelled.

Agree, it may be best to wait and see if they cancel the last remaining order. If they do, then make noise.

End of story, I still have that one open order like the rest of you but have little faith that we will receive it.:doh:

[Raskal311]

There are different ways it could work out. You guys are making up your plot.

Just speaking from many years of finding deals and pointing out the more likely 'plot' based on my experiance. And the canclation started after you called so what I wrote has nothing to do with you or your actions. Main reason why I wrote what I did was to let people knot not to post hot deals on too many forums and order more than what you could use next time a deal comes around.

No need to get upset.

No need to get upset.

The cancelations did not start after I called. The cancelations had already happened. As far as I know everyone still has an open order for one reel.
I am not upset, I am just trying to be as informative as possible. As Americans I am sure we are all aware of deals and have experience in handling these situations.
As far as a big company such as Amazon, in my experience they strive for customer service and image, so if you did notify them for any reason, the higher up you go the more likely they are going to want to make good on a promise. So go ahead contact them now or later if necessary, I think noise is good. I really don't care at this point for the few bucks I potentially will have saved.

Good advice about keeping the deals quiet. Glad I'm out of the rat race.
All I want to do is :reel:

I am not upset, I am just trying to be as informative as possible. As Americans I am sure we are all aware of deals and have experience in handling these situations.
As far as a big company such as Amazon, in my experience they strive for customer service and image, so if you did notify them for any reason, the higher up you go the more likely they are going to want to make good on a promise. So go ahead contact them now or later if necessary, I think noise is good. I really don't care at this point for the few bucks I potentially will have saved. All I want to do is :reel:

Sorry I ment before you called... And trust me I know all about Amazon. I'm in a $8000 dispute with them. The higher you go the more unresponsive they get.

Okay, let me explain this one last time. Currently I do still have an active order that says I am going to receive one reel solo. What I did call about was a separate order with separate items and one of these reels. This order was totally erased cancelled. The agent spoke with a supervisor and informed me that all orders with the so called "incorrect pricing" would be cancelled in due time including the active order I still have for one reel and that I could go ahead and reorder the items erased with the reel for the correct pricing. I then expressed my displeasure in this action by Amazon by pointing out to her that they sent out an email informing us of making good on one reel. She then informed me that eventually those orders would also be cancelled.

OK that changes some things...

So you put in multiple reel orders. They sent you a notice saying they were only honoring one. You then called to express your displeasure about the ones they cancelled, and they then after reviewing your orders told you they were cancelling all your orders.

I'd say there is a pretty fair chance that those that got the notices that they will get one reel will in fact get one reel and that now after expressing your displeasure to customer service all your orders will likely be cancelled.

The last thing I'd do is call them especially after hearing about your experience.

I give up, paint it however you like. :notworthy:

Is anyone familiar with this reel? Is it a heavy monster? At 300yards or 30#, I'm betting it is? Thinking about it for my 9-yr old son. Hmm.. I guess I could always return it? Thanks for letting us know, mako!
:cheers1:

Hot damn that Curado 300EJ is smooooooth and I can cast a mile with it. Loaded it up with 50# Power Pro and mounted it on a Teramar for now. I'd never have tried one if it weren't for the "sale" at Amazon and Fiskadoro posting it. Thanks dude!
