Xpress Rod and Reel Trade-In Program

We all end up with a rod or two we no longer use, wish we had never bought, our would like to upgrade. Now you have an option to just letting those rods gather dust!

American Legacy Fishing Company's Xpress Rod Trade-In Program allows you to upgrade your old rods or reels. Here's how it works:

  • Call us, e-mail us, fax us, or come in with what you want to trade-in.
  • We will quote you a trade-in value based on your description and our appraisal.
  • If we agree on the trade-in value, then just place your order for your replacement or upgrade rod(s).
  • We'll take your credit card details and shipping info, immediately send your new rod(s) out in a sturdy, reusable shipping tube along with a pre-paid UPS return label.
  • When your new rod(s) arrive simply put the trade-in rod(s) in the tube, reseal, take off the old UPS label and put the prepaid label on the tube and drop off at a UPS pick-up point.
  • Reels must be shipped separately from rods and we will include a shipping label for them as well if applicable.
  • Once we receive and inspect the rods / reels we will issue your credit card a credit for the trade-in value agreed less the return prepaid shipping fee (typically about $20).

G. Loomis rods typically appraise at 40% to 55% of MSRP. Other brands may be somewhat less. Reels range in value from 20% to 45% of current MSRP. All values are highly dependent on condition and brand.

If our inspection determines the rods / reels are below the condition that was described to us, we will contact you with our inspection report and a revised trade-in appraisal. We always try to minimize this sort of situation by asking customers to be as fair as possible when describing rods / reels to be traded.

Rods / Reels Not Acceptable: We cannot accept rods made in China, Korea, Thailand, etc. by manufacturers other than St. Croix, Shimano, Daiwa, etc. We cannot accept any rod that has damage or wear that would substantially affect the rods performance. We cannot accept rods deemed "vintage" where collector value is greater than functional value. We reserve the right to confirm ownership and to refuse any rod or reel.

It's that simple. And, that fast! Questions? Comments? Give us a call, e-mail us, fax us, or come by.
