Selling Your Tackle or Stocking Up? Fenland Tackle Exchange Has You Covered...

The fenland air’s getting frosty, and as the winter chill sets in, we've noticed the usual yearly spike in anglers looking to offload their old carp fishing tackle, predator gear, and coarse fishing kit. Maybe you're having a clear-out, or perhaps you're just stepping away from the bankside for a bit. Either way, at Fenland Tackle Exchange, we're here to help you turn that spare gear into instant cash.

But before you send us a message about selling your unwanted kit, we need to be straight with you. We're a no-nonsense, straight-talking bunch, and we don't want to waste your time—or ours. So, here’s the three-point reality check, a sort of 'heads-up' for anyone considering selling up:

Heads Up: Read This Before You Sell

1. You’ll likely double your cash if you sell it yourself. That’s right. Places like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Gumtree will almost certainly get you a bigger return. Why? Because we're the ones who do the 'heavy lifting': the cleaning, the photo taking, the listing, answering all those late-night customer questions, packing, shipping, and dealing with the inevitable returns and refunds. We buy your gear so you don't have to deal with the aggro.

2. We only buy full setups and 'job lots'. This goes back to point one. Our job is to add value by paying out instantly for ALL your unwanted gear in one go. If you’ve only got a single pole, an old bivvy, or just a few bits and pieces to shift, you’re honestly better off biting the bullet and selling it yourself. The extra time and hassle will probably be worth it for the bigger return.

3. We pay instantly on collection, and only by BACS. We don't mess about with cash. It's the safest, simplest, most traceable way to do business for both of us. We’re not a pawn shop, and we make a point of ensuring every seller is legit by visiting you at your home and transferring the funds directly to your bank. If you're hoping for a thick envelope of unmarked notes, you'll need to look elsewhere.

So, if you’re looking for a quick, hassle-free way to clear a shed-full of used fishing tackle with instant, safe payment, drop us a line with a list.
