Gemini says: i have 280' of used 3/4" braided anchor rode attached to 35' of G4 chain. What is a fair price to sell that at That's a very robust anchor rode! A fair price for used anchor gear depends heavily on its condition, the local market (which is impossible for me to know), and the type of buyer (private versus marine consignment). Based on current new retail prices for similar materials, here is an estimated breakdown to help you set a fair price: 💵 Fair Price Estimate for Used Rode & Chain A reasonable range to ask for your entire assembly is likely between $200 and $350. To determine the best price for your gear, consider the factors below and aim for a value between 30% and 50% of the new retail cost. 1. New Retail Value Estimate First, let's look at the new price to establish a baseline. Component Quantity New Retail Price (Estimate) Subtotal (New) 3/4" Braided Nylon Rode 280 ft $$$1.60 - $$$2.00 per foot $$$448 - $$$560 G4 High-Test Chain 35 ft $$$4.00 - $$$6.00 per foot (assuming 1/4" or 5/16" size) $$$140 - $$$210 Professional Splicing 1 (Rode to Chain) $$$30 - $$$50 value $$$30 - $$$50 TOTAL NEW RETAIL VALUE $$$618 - $$$820+ Note on Chain Size: The price for G4 chain is a significant factor. I assumed a common size like $1/4"$ or $5/16"$. If your chain is a larger size, the new value (and your asking price) will be higher. 2. Condition is Everything (Setting Your Price) The condition of the rode and chain will determine where in the 30% to 50% range your price should fall. Condition Factor Suggested Used Price Percentage Excellent (45% - 50%): Rode is clean, flexible, and shows minimal chafe. Chain has minimal rust/corrosion and good galvanization. Good (35% - 45%): Rode has been used but is sound. Chain shows some minor surface rust but is structurally sound. This is a common price for well-maintained used gear. Fair (30% - 35%): Rode has noticeable stains or moderate chafe on the end sections. Chain has moderate, widespread rust or weak galvanization. 3. Final Suggested Price Calculation Using the "Good" condition estimate (35% - 45% of new value): • Low End (35% of $618): $\approx$ $216 • High End (45% of $820): $\approx$ $369
