I have a chance to get this exact Aldebaran Mg7 for $245 shipped to my door.
And while it's not really "new in box" anymore, since pictures needed to be taken, it's pretty much brand new.
I see some floating on ebay in "used" condition, pretty beat up with or without boxes for roughly $140-200 plus shipping, which is usually $20 on top of said price.
Is $245 a fair price for it? Would you pay this much for one if you were looking for one?

I'm deciding on what rod to pair it with, right now I'm leaning towards G.Loomis, but the question is, which series?
IMX-PRO / GLX / NRX, not sure if I should just bite the bullet and get the top dog. What are some differences between these rods for those that own them?
I am a huge fan of the lifetime warranty, hence the reason why I'm leaning this way. Dobyns is also looking really good with their prices and warranty, but have heard mixed reviews for the most part, seems like a love or hate thing with them.
