Default Ebay guys and Archery Gear.

Now would be a good time to get on and look for deals on archery gear from ebay. I just bought 2 brand newpacks of G5 Stikers(6 heads) for $35.00 to my door. thats like buy one get one free!! So i thought i would pass along the news of great savings i encountered not to mention this is where my GF christmas presents came from also...

Im hesitant to use ebay for anything after I got burned.
Heres the story.
I bought a NIB blow off valve for one of my cars a few years back. I saved about $30 or so over what I would have paid buying it from the store. It worked but not like it was supposed to or how other people said theirs were working. Two years later I discover it was a fake...a VERY good fake...Nearly identical and I had to completely take down the fake one and a verified real one to tell the difference.
Anyways, just watch out for that. Ive had some good experiences as well but this one ruined it for me.

I use ebay all the time I have gotten some great deals from there but I have also gotten burned a few times you really do have to be careful. Read the feedback very carefully. If it seems to good to be true it probably is.

BINGO! You're hard pressed to actually pay less for anything on Ebay anymore. Not saying it doesn't happen, but few and far between.

Just look at all the "Ebay Stores" popping up...Shoot, bidding isn't even an option.

ebay is working to remove alot of the stores that play it as a retail site and trying to get back to the low cost items i sod a xbox on there a few years ago and got more for it then i wonted because of all the people selling used xboxs for liek 30 bucks under new cost there nothing but a pawn shop wth out the pawning
can't tell you how many times i have went to a pawn shop and seen stuff 10% less then new
they do that because the get a loan from a bank and it change if they have more stuff the more stuff they have the more cash they get to give people to get a 25% a month loan the word loan shark coems to mind

Retailers really have put a hurt on the old eBay. I think it is a great place to find accessories, but I would never buy something as expensive as a bow just because you really have no warranty or recourse if there is a problem. Unless there is a VERY specific warranty, AS IS means AS IS.

If you buy a Vital Bow Gear site make sure the LIFETIME warranty is good when purchased this way! I use VBG rests and sites, they great especially with the LIFETIME warranty!
