If you’re looking to sell or evaluate two used pocket fly boxes, here are some key points to consider:
1. Description & Condition
– Brand/Model: Identify if they’re from well-known brands (e.g., Tacky, Fishpond, Orvis, C&F).
– Size/Type: Are they small, slim, or standard? Do they hold dry flies, nymphs, or streamers?
– Condition: Note wear (hinge issues, latch tightness, scratches) and cleanliness (odor, residue).
2. Pricing (Used Market)
– New Price: Compare to original retail (e.g., $15–$40 per box).
– Used Value: Typically 30–60% of new, depending on condition.
– Good condition: ~$10–$25 each.
– Heavy wear: $5–$15 each.
3. Selling Tips
– Platforms: eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or fly-fishing forums (e.g., Fly Fisherman Classifieds).
– Keywords: Use terms like “used fly box,” “portable fly storage,” or the brand name.
– Bundle: Selling both together may attract buyers looking for multiples.
4. Alternative Uses
– Repurpose for small gear (hooks, beads, leaders).
– Donate to a fly-fishing club or youth program.
