Things you regret selling.

[TF_baitchefParticipant]

I thought we would start the day with a nice cheerful post. So here goes. I once sold a Mitchel match and an ABU 501 for £4.00 each and a vintage handmade wooden box full of flies that must have had hundreds of man hours put in for a measly fiver. Don’t ask why, It was when I went off fishing.

My Browning Red spiral Titanium,still miss it now.

Ah good one…. well here goes at the moment im thinking of selling all my gear…. but will i regret it in time…

Have mine if ya like for a small fee or swap ya for a bag of pellet

[TF_Dave Pellet]

don’t do it hookpulledagain, you’ll definately regret it especially when the summer comes

I had a break from fishing when I discovered beer, football & girlies (aged 17 thru to 26 ish) – the last 2 items I sold were my much treasured & hard-earned Abu 501 & a beautiful hand built 9’6″ Ernest Stamford threaded tip leger rod that I caught my first tench with

since then I’ve bought a variety of closed face reels from ebay, including the 501, 503, 506 & a lovely 506m (that’s the one I always wanted as a youth but could never afford)

still search ebay most days for the stamford leger rod, saw one once but it was part of a full kit & the seller wouldn’t split

[TF_stevieskin]

Brett dont sell the gear mate unless you are 100% sure you wont miss it. Been there done that..

[TF_craigm]

I sold all my gear when i got a Vespa and started going on the scooter rallies up and down the country, spent most of the money on drugs,drink and women then wasted what was left. 18mths and a broken leg later the Vespa had been scrapped, I was lucky to be alive and had come through re-hab unscathed, then had to start buying it all again.

Surely the follow up to this thread is “Things you regret breaking”. I’ve not sold too many things that I’ve regretted, but breakages, now that’s another matter entirely!

[TF_MarkT]

I sold all my gear about 3 years ago and deeply regretted it especially in the summer.It’s took me ages to build it up again, so i won’t be doing it again.

too true i broke about 12ins off a maver reactorlite 12ft pellet rod on my garage door never having fished with it that still hurts now

i really regret selling my 1999 yamaha r1
and my top of the range carp gear to buy a stupid petrol guzzling subaru impreza. ~sick
what a dick.

My Mum and Dad used to run fund raising for a local blind school and I was helping set up a jumble sale one day when I was about 10 and came across a cane boat rod and a wooden centre pin reel for it. Dropped £2 in the box and took it home. It sat in the corner of my bedroom with all my other rods and never moved so after about 5 years I gave it to another jumble sale.

I’m sure I’ve seen articles in fishing mags etc showing the same reel selling for £100’s. :0(

i regret selling my body every night in skipton and only charging 50p i am sure i could get 75p

[TF_wightangler]

drink, drugs and the women- oh and the ciggies were enjoyable too ,alas.

[TF_dellaboy]

I need to sell loads of tackle but always think i will regrett it later !!Going to have to get rid ov some, 3 boxes 5 poles no idea how many rods and reels and no space anywhere in house !!! Either start selling or stop buying !!

[TF_Waveney One]

Mother-in-law

She died 2 weeks later after having taken me out her will and the arab I sold her to asked for his money back!

[TF_nick_the_2nd]

I sold My 13ft Mio New Era Supelight and wished I didn’t after a few months as it was such a good rod.

Although recently I picked one up brand new for £40 from a guy who had a load of Mlo old stock so now have another one!!~clap

[TF_lloydy1970]

My soul to the devil.

[TF_neil g]

[MrFoxman]

No problem for me as i don’t sell nothing, i always keep my gear as you never know when you might need it. The only things i have sold is like 5 items of carp tackle in the past to buy more match gear and don’t regret that ~clap

[daiwa 1113Participant]

browning 8010 reels………crap at winding carp in but the radiused back of the spool was great for running fish,just a touch with the finger like a centrepin.
also my browning titanium power ..so strong and put in,like steel.

[Daddy BParticipant]

my first flat.

[TF_Doughty12]

My bike and specially my home with garage and it’s beautiful garage door, spent much money on it 🙂

[TF_Team Rattler]

My first Fizzy and any of the Katana’s i’ve owned.
A Mk3 golf estate which 10 years after selling is still a runner.
My first mitchell match which was used for everything and an olympic medium feeder rod together which caught my first double figure yorkshire barbel.
I’d happily buy any of them back but the only one i can locate is the feeder rod and my mate won’t sell even though he don’t use it. 🙁

[TF_squatboy]
