Used once. Selling due to upgrading
Or, a conditioned carp clone has made an involuntary purchase because it's sold as the next best thing and then realised it was not

i have 2 Cayman bivvies in the loft that have never been used .... I have various sets of rods that have only been once .... not looking to sell any, as bought when on sale and hope to use in the future .... i dont think its uncommon for stuff to have been unused/used once etc and then be sold for variety of reasons

Obviously there is a lot of genuinely never used, used a few time like new but sadly for the genuine sellers there are loads making claims that simply are not true.

I'm the same. I have about 3 sets of gear just in case my brother or son or nephew want to come fishing with me. Sadly my brother emigrated to Australia and my son lost interest in fishing. I guess my nephew will get it all when I pop my clogs. I'll never sell it.

Agree with this as I am probably going to do the same with my Deeper. Used once and it really isn't for me so don't want £200 of gear sat in a cupboard so will prob sell at a loss. That said I fully understand where the op was coming from looking at some of the crap being sold and pushed as new or nearly new

Its gets me as well..... Mint condition, only one small burn in the ground sheet, and two missing pegging points.
Translates to.... stove went over, I panicked and jumped up and ripped the pegging points out

. . .this can also be legit! Lots of people take the kitchen sink when they first go to France (I know I did) and some of it becomes superfluous for UK fishing . . eg. silly oversized bivvies / wideboy bedchairs etc.

Ive noticed it an increasing amount with reels. 'Never used, just loaded with fresh line'

I couldn't agree more. I recently sold a Tempest V2 Air Utility front & groundsheet on Ebay and I think the chap was surprised it had never even been out of the packet.....skull cap went too (new)....must be a lot of micky takers out there though for people to be so sceptical.
I also tend to buy when something is too good to miss, the last example having sat in a box since Feb 19 after a house move. 3 Shimano X Aero 4000, thought I'd try the double handle...hmm. Took 1 out this year, put it on my Greys Floater rod (again rod not seen light of day for years) and guess what...yep...I can't stand the double handle, so 2 new and 1 like new.....unless I can be bothered to find a single handle replacement.
Also done the used once in France quite a few times, fickle bugger me
EDIT, also found a load of PVA stuff bought from a show for...yeah..JIC...wonder if I'll get away with only used once for that

I like to see bait for sale, full bag of freezer bait, only used a handful. And they ask for a pound less than its selling for in the shop down the road

I paid a crook by the name of Dave blackys Custom Rods over 1600 notes for a set of four custom built Harrison trebuchet lights.
He forgot to put the line clips on and clearly forgot to mix his epoxy evenly as tip rings where spinning on the two rods I used having not chucked further than 40 yards.
I got a friend to see to the tip rings but to be honest with the lack of skill that dishonest man used Im waiting to get them rebuilt by someone more reputable.
So essentially I have four extremely expensive rods, two used once, two as new lol
If they didn't have personal decals which are sentimental I'd probably have sold them as blanks to a rod builder.
A lot of people are getting into fishing and then finding out it isn't like what they see on monster carp, so there is some fairly decent deals to be had, shouldnt be anywhere near new cost though!
