The resale market, is what it is on most all products.
As far as AH or Leland's they both offer trade in programs. They are both able to buy rods at wholesale cost and sell at retail. Your trade-in is the down payment. My guess is that AH gave you the better trade-in. I have done business with both. I was satisfied with both. However, I did need to email AH twice as one of my orders was misplaced.
So are you telling people to not post items here as you could not get what you wanted for your rod?
