well said aido. some of the prices fellas are looking for 2nd hand gear is crazy. some seem to try and make a profit after useing the gear for a year or two.,seen a bivvy for sale on this site, and it was more expensive to buy without the winter skin that a new one in the shops with winter skin included.

Big time, plenty of that goin on all over here!!

fair play lads,, we have all seen it on this site,, wots a man to do ,, ill get them new i think

Fx rate is back to normal, that means 3 new un's will cost you around €470, plus any postage, the good old days of a Euro being worth nearly the same as a pound are gone.

You will also see prices in the UK go up again after Xmas as there VAT rate goes up, we may even see shoppers and holiday makers return!

For example, if you bought a Daiwa Infinity reel just over a year ago you would have paid STG£175, with the then Fx rate that was about €190.

Due to the worlds banks doubting the abilty of the UK government the pound fell off a cliff, so import prices went up, the above reel now sells at STG€219 add todays fx rate that will cost you €265!

It is totally plausable that you should be able to sell it for at least what you paid, and even make a small profit.......

but its still second hand and used ,

True, im not saying buy it, just pointing out things are going up.

Damo. Are you havin a laugh mate.
Sell for what you paid or make a profit ?
For something used and with no guarantee?
Cop on.

Not havin a laugh, and not ur mate, what I am saying is it's pluasable with the way the Fx rate has varied so much. Do the math.

You're dead right you're not my mate and sellin second hand stuff for more than you paid for it when it was new regardless of the exchange rate isn't funny either. Thats called a rip off and you dont need math to work that out.

I'm not selling anything!

I am just pointing out that what you paid for something 12 months ago, it costs at least 10 to 15% more to buy it now and rising, and in the item I highlighted it would suggest you can sell it second hand for nearly what you paid for it, if you were lucky enough to buy at the peak of the euro, it's called being subjective.

I am not suggesting people sell things for more than they paid, thats what shops and stuff do I think....

Socialist worker anyone?

others call it depreciation

Totally agree, you will only sell something for what someone is prepared to pay.....

You're contradicting yourself now.

" its totally plausable that you can sell for at least what you paid for it and even make a small profit"

"I'm not suggesting people sell things for more than they paid"

Make your mind up.
Goods used, and without warranty depreciate over time.

I'll retract everything and put my time back to making Christmas cards with the mentally ill.
Sorry for the confussion.

Aido, i can pick you one up in Leslies, or anywhere around North London, try the concrete site or Tackletrader.

when have you ever heard of a car been sold for more second hand than it cost new ,,

I have 3 long casts for sale, Only used for 2 years, comes with free used line, only 480 Euro

I also have 3 Greys Prodogy 50+, looking for 520 Euro as i need to upgrade to the Xflights

Maybe your interested Damo?
