New equipment, with fewer of your dollars out of your pocket! That’s what we are all after. Sometimes, in order to keep peace in the family we like to show that we are willing to part with a few old used items and only bring 1 or 2 new bright, shiny new things back in the house. That’s what the FlyMasters TradeUp Program is all about.

The TradeUp Program takes your under-utilized fishing equipment, not necessarily just fly fishing gear, and sells it for you on eBay. We also do not limit items sold under the TradeUp Program to rods and reels. You receive a store credit at FlyMasters of Indianapolis, Inc. for the entire proceeds of the eBay auction, less shipping, less eBay fees (both listing fees and selling fees), and less PayPal fees. The best estimate for eBay and PayPal fees is in the area of 10-12%. Shipping is paid by the buyer. All of our FlyMasters TradeUp Program auctions charge freight to the buyer. FlyMasters does all of the work and you get all of the net proceeds as a credit towards new merchandise. We evaluate your equipment; clean it, shine it & spit-polish it; photograph it; research the item; and create a well-done professional eBay ad just for your item.

What do we get for our trouble? - We want you as a satisfied, regular customer. We stock all of the best brands in the business. We expect to gain from our future sales to you. You could do all of this yourself, but why? – FlyMasters takes nothing off the top. You get the same amount as if you did all the work yourself. In addition, we have learned some lessons from our years of experience on eBay and we put them to work for you. Generally, that amounts to higher prices for your item.

If you are within easy reach of our store on the Northeast side of Indianapolis, IN, drop in with your equipment to have us evaluate it for inclusion in our TradeUp Program. If you are not planning a trip to Indianapolis in the near future, me. I will quickly respond with the required forms and directions on how to proceed. If you have questions about the TradeUp Program, call (317-570-9811) or me at FlyMasters.

Pick out one of your little used fishing items today and try it. I think that you are going to really like the FlyMasters TradeUp Program.
