Thinking of selling up

Advice please gents,

I've really lost the bug for Barbel since turning to predator (mostly Bas) fishing and also not spending as much time in the midlands. I don't have masses of gear, is it best to break it down and sell separately or advertise as a job lot?

All used tackle is in great condition

Just an idea of gear:
Harrison Torrix 11' 2lb New factory built
Harrison Avon 1lb 6oz Used Mick Holgate build
Shimano 4000d Baitruner
Nash Rucksack with tackle
Quiver with bank sticks, Drennan Specialist Net Handle, Drennan Net

I would imagine you would get better money selling separately
 
You will get more money selling individual but have to deal with all the drama that comes with it or just move it on in one lot to someone who wants the lot or just some and is prepared to move the rest on and have the hassle or my advice would be stick it in the loft and forget about it and then it’s there if you get your mojo back thought about selling my gear once or twice then slapped my self for even considering it
 
It depends Josh in some respect where you live. The cost of carriage for long rods, ie over 1500 is silly now but has a serious negative effect on the market for all but sought after items. Your two harrison' s are sought after so putting them on ebay plus carriage is fine. Ebay to regular listers, often offer discounted rates for a weekend. Try at catch one of those. Makes an enormous differencein % commission cost. The other three its should sell fine on this site, again depending whether collection is easy. the rods too if collection ok.. I have a pal in N lincs, who gives me his rods to sell as they need collection and I live where there are many more chimney's here in s essex than he has.
 
Definitely individually, and don't under sell if possible. That Mick Holgate rod is worth holding onto if there's a chance you may get back into things!

I made a mistake years ago selling some Seer's & wished to god I hadn't! 👍

I think you’re right about Mick’s rod, I’ve had it about 8-9 years now!

Definitely mate. I need to offload some rods myself, but loathed to do so as the quality of today's products is quite frankly crap😂

I know the old drennans were mass produced, but they were so much better built than today's poor equivalents.
Other than the acolytes, but then I wouldn't swap any of the IM9's for those either... 😂
