Don't really know if I want to get rid of them or not but I have 5 Berkley Bionix's and 5 of the old BPS graphite96's. All baitcast pistol grips. I was just wondering if anyone knew if they had any value other than sentimental. They just sit in the rack and I get one of them out to play with when one of them starts to feel old.

None of those rods would be worth selling if shipping was involved.  The length of the rods and the cost of the tube adds up to roughly $20 with ups ground to the lower 48.  I've tried to sell my lower end BPS rods in the past, but ended up keeping them because I couldn't get anything for them.  Don't know about the bionix, I've never tried to sell mine but I'd guess about the same as the bps rods.  Try to sell local and just meet up, only way you'll get anything worthwhile.  Over the years I've slowly switched most of my rods over to St. Croix.  It's nice with the St. Croix's, I can put them on ebay and get 80-90% of my money back.  Also check out the new shimano rods with the over the counter lifetime warranty.

Thats about what I was figuring but you never know. Like you I have changed over to St. Croix, no sense leaving a rod that you like. They are to expensive to buy something and leave it in the rack because it don't feel just right.
