Sell your Franklin paddle

These get played hard and traded often, which is good news on price and means the grade matters more than usual. Face grit is the first thing to go and the first thing you will feel. Check the handle-to-face join closely: it is the weak point on the older Signature moulds, and any flex there at all is a decline.

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.

1. 01

   Tell us what you have

   Brand, model, condition, and photos. It takes a minute.

2. 02

   We price it

   A person reviews it and comes back within 24 hours with an offer in store credit.

3. 03

   You ship it in

   We email the address once you accept. Shipping to us is at your expense — there is no prepaid label.

4. 04

   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 ship it back at our cost.

What is my used Franklin paddle worth?

It depends on the model, its age and its condition, which is why the quote comes from a person rather than a lookup table. Tell us what you have and send photos, and you will have an offer within 24 hours. 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 Franklin 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 does not expire on you mid-decision.

Who pays the shipping?

You do, on the way in. There is no prepaid label, and we email you the address once you accept the offer. If we grade it on arrival and the final offer comes out lower than the estimate, you are free to decline — and if you do, we ship the paddle back to you at our cost.

Which Franklin models do you take?

The lines we see most are Signature, FS, Max Grit, but we take all major brands and are not limited to a list. We do reserve the right to decline any paddle, and a paddle that fails inspection is declined rather than lowballed.
