If you have been fishing for several years, chances are that you have accumulated quite a bit of tackle and accessories. You probably have some tackle, possible even a boat that never even see the water, due to upgrades or changes in fishing interest. Most of us would probably like to sell these items, but taking the time to place an add, show them to perspective buyers, and haggling over prices is just a hassle.

Isle of Palms resident, Michael Rowell, saw a need to help people sell their products through online auction giant eBay and started Sell Mates to accomplish this goal. Michael is a long time eBay user and realized that eBay offered a great opportunity for people to create a worldwide market for their goods. He has become a middle man that helps people get the most money for their products. By researching your item and working with professional appraisers, not only can Michael properly position your products, but he can determine if that 50 year old reel, you may think of as junk, is instead a valuable antique.
The process is actually very simple. You take your items to Sell Mates store on Coleman Boulevard and Michael will handle the appraisal process, taking a digital picture of your product and making sure it is properly positioned on eBay to maximize your exposure and your dollar.

Michael is quick to mention that no item is too big or small for his business; he’s even sold a boat for one client.
Sell Mates charges 7%-25% on items it sells, but if for some reason your item does not sell he will return it to you at no charge or donate to a charity of your choice. You also have the convenience and confidence of dealing with a local
