I know a lot of people buy and sell on eBay but personally I am opposed to it, I believe we should support our local tackle shops (and/or the BFW shop). If we don't then what will we do when they are out of business? These small shops owned by enthusiastic anglers are a valuable resource of local knowledge, not to mention bait, hooks, rods, line.....
btw I don't own or have shares in a shop and I do buy some things online just not fishing tackle. |

support your local electrical shop,your local computer shop and your local clothes shops.
it's a buyers market and you cannot blame people wanting a cheap deal. i use a few tackle shops but when you see a reel in the shop for £325 and then go to ebay and it's 50 quid cheaper,what would you do. dave.

Truthfully I would buy it from the shop where I could see it, handle it and if it falls apart after a week take it back. Pictures on the inet are misleading, right ups are not always true, parcel post is a good way of getting things smashed. Plus if you are regular and got enough front you can always get discount from your local shop, "did you know this is only £xxx up the road..."

Just bought a Wychwood Rapier Barbel Rod off ebay, new sells for about £100 got it for £52 plus postage. But the postage is £12 still a bargain but the new postage charges are having an impact.
Got a couple of bids in at the moment including Shimano reels, never can never have enough can you

My technique is go find ur item eg rod reel e.t.c look at it in the tackle shop first then find it on ebay

for me a lot depends on the shop , i remember last yr , i went into my small local shop, spent 70 odd quid , the miserable sod behind the counter added everything up , ''that'll be £73.59p please '' !!?? thinks to myself , now if that was me behind the counter it would have been ''call it £73 '' , i agree with a lot of whats been said , but its a 2 way thing , a bit of good will back from the shops is needed
i've recentley just got 2 bargains from e bay , 2 reels on 2 seperate occasions , retail in the shops would have been around 80 or 90 quid , e bay total for 2 brand new in the box reels , £58 , shops cant compete |
