On September 2018 went to JJJ seremban as usual. The first section is the fishing section, new stock has been put in, for so long, see two road with reel on it , but after checking that not a fishing reel but a line counter. 1 still in good condition with price tag Rm60 and another one with broken spoll. handle and with loose selector gear lever Rm50. So just take the good one to counter and ask for the best price only the line counter without the road. They given Rm50. Too expensive for a second hand use parts so i ask how about the broken one best price given Rm40 but i bagin for Rm20. Not given so I am not buying forget it. With that price i can buy new. After 3 week i found out it been sold but left only the damage one with price tag Rm10. Haha stupid JJJ firsly ask for RM20 don't want to sale but now Rm10. Buy it and go back service and repair.
