Sell your Diadem paddle

What we look at
Grading a used Diadem
The textured faces are the selling point and the wear item, so grit is what separates a good used Diadem from an average one. Edge guards are well fitted and rarely the problem. Check the butt cap on older units, which can work loose and is an easy thing to miss in a photograph.
That is the same check your paddle gets when it reaches the bench, and it is why the quote is an estimate until it arrives. Nothing is graded on a photograph alone.
How it works
Four steps
Tell us what you have
Brand, model, condition, and photos. It takes a minute.
We price it
A person reviews it and comes back within 24 hours with an offer in store credit.
You ship it in
We email you a prepaid label once you accept. Postage is on us.
We grade it and issue credit
Credit is issued after the paddle arrives and passes the same twelve point inspection. If the final offer differs from the estimate we email it first and issue nothing until you accept. Decline and we send it back, with return postage at your expense.
Questions
Selling a Diadem
- What is my used Diadem paddle worth?
- It depends on the model, its age and its condition. The calculator on our homepage gives you a range in a few taps, and a scan of your paddle narrows it to yours. The quote is an estimate until we have the paddle in hand and have graded it against the same twelve points we grade everything by.
- Do you pay cash for Diadem paddles?
- No. Trade ins are paid in RePaddle store credit only: no cash, PayPal or Venmo. Credit arrives as a code you can spend on any paddle at checkout, and it is valid for 12 months.
- Who pays the shipping?
- We do, coming in: you get a prepaid label once you accept the offer. Going back is yours. If we grade it on arrival, send a revised offer and you decline, the return trip is at your expense.
- Which Diadem models do you take?
- The lines we see most are Warrior, Icon, Vice, but we take all major brands and are not limited to a list. What we do hold to is condition: Mint, Like New or Excellent. We reserve the right to decline any paddle, and a paddle that fails inspection is declined rather than lowballed.
