I was at BPS on Saturday night in Ashland Va and there were 2 Shimano Curado cu-200b's that people had traded in for a mere coupon! I was about to ask if I could buy 2 4.98$ push button reels to trade and take those 2 babies out! Did anyone else notice any nice reels people had traded in for that coupon?

No, I didn't notice what others had traded in or if any of it was good. Myself, I traded in an old shakespeare spinning reel that I hadn't used in years and forgot I had until I saw it hanging in the rafters in my dad's workshop. It was part of a $25 kmart combo that I got when I was in middle school, and I got $20 off a new carbonlite baitcaster for it.

i didnt see any but i did buy $5 zebco to get 15 off my PQ

two years ago, i was headed to BPS and asked my brother-in-law if he wanted to donate any reels as part of the reel trade-in program. he didn't want the discount any...he just wanted to get rid of some old reels and, at the same time, help out a local fisihing organization. anyway, he gave me 8 old round abu-garcia reels, five of which i was entirely unfamiliar with. i donated 7 of them along with 2 of my own reels and got the coupons but only used one coupon for a new reel. i did some checking and those reels were being sought by collectors! i ebay'd that one reel and it fetched nearly $400...i gave the money to my BIL and told him the story and he just kind of laughed.
