Call it old Skool and the millennials will snap it up in an attempt to look like they've been carp fishing longer than 5 minutes
They will realise like I did when I got older that no one really cares

Many years ago I bought a Matrix Bulldog landing net
Off of someone on here. Its a lovely net and still going strong.
However it can be a right pain in the arse to put together.
Sometimes first time, sometimes 5 frustrating minutes.
He sold it ' no longer have use for it'
A few months later someone on here was asking about
The same net and my bloke did a full 100 word rant about what a piece of **** it was. Lol

Sad thing is when I list as 'used once' it's been true these last few years

if its second hand then half the retail price is good with me.
nearly new / unused is tosh... half retail and you take your chance if mail order.
never had a problem on here over the years due to buying from mainly regulars...

Rubbish, I've got a new unused jag adjustable 316 pod that I may sell simply because I've jag black sticks and bars and will be buying a solar universal, either standard or euro. This pod cost £475 and half that won't buy it, I'd keep it if that was all its worth as I've seen the older thumb screw model in used condition go for £300. Recently bought 3 free spirit Hi's ive's after looking at them second hand only saw one set under a grand and they were well used with damage to the duplon and all writing yellow and faded. All the others were over a grand. The used market is flooded with mid range stuff but the high end stuff in v good condition is getting harder to find although I did see several sets of aviators for reasonable money but on viewing they were all poorly built custom jobs.

I would pay 75% of new price for top condition goods that I really wanted. I've seen loads of gear go on e bay for a fiver less than new when you add postage into the equation. That's just ridiculous. I pull out of auctions way before that.

Absolutely nailed it.
Oh, you missed...
"First to see will buy" - I've polished the **** out of them to hide the fact they've been run over by a div in a T32
"Sold as seen" - been run over by a div in a T32 and I cannot be bothered to polish the **** out of them, so i've knocked a tenner off.

That ordered by mistake gets me, if that's the case send it back for a refund. Oh no you can't because you've made a big deal about it being lost by the courier and now you have two.
