Hardy Rod Valuation & Selling Guide (UK)

Question
Hi there, I have a Hardy's rod I want to sell (serial number A31948). Could you give me a rough idea of price, and where I should go to sell it (I live in the UK).

Best wishes,

James

(I emailed you about this too, but I figured it's better to ask it through this website)

Answer
James,
I appreciate you putting the question on all experts. I don't think I have any pictures.

Before I can give you a realistic value I would need to see pictures (macsrods@yahoo.com) and pin down the serial number.(i.e. see a picture of the serial number)

ebay-UK would be one place to sell it . As I am not in the UK I can't really advise very well on you where to sell it, but here's some thoughts;

Take it to Farlows in London

Hardy is in Alnwick web page http://www.hardyfishing.com/en-gb/home/
look into the customer service , I see a phone number there.

This is a website selling a Hardy rod in England http://www.itackle.co.uk/greys-hardy-streamlite-fly-rods/

You can try selling it at the Classic Fly Rod Forum at no cost http://www.classicflyrodforum.com/topic/12529/t/New-Hardy-Rod-s.html
