Default If I decide....

If I decide to put the X Force back on the market, I think I will sell it one of two ways. Bare for 625$ or loaded with everything , stabilizer, peep, string tamer, wrist sling, quiver, sight, Qad Rest for800$ Anyone have any suggestions??

I think you come out money ahead selling bare bow and then selling accessories separately... That, and two other reasons: One, every time I list a bow with accessories, the majority of the replies are "What would you take for bare bow?" ... and Two, I've got myself to the point of where I've got some pretty high-dollar, quality accessories for all my bows I run through, and I like to keep them to install on my next bow as I've ran through most of everything else I want to experiment with and know what I like now.

I pretty much agree with what Greg says, but I might add this if there is an accessory on the bow that is more trouble to take off than it's worth (peep) then I'll leave it on. Also if it's something that I don't care for and won't reuse,but not really a top demand item then I might let it go with the bow. For instance if you like your QAD and want to reuse it then keep it. There is no way you canget enough out of it to replace it. If on the other hand you want to try another rest out. I would sell it seperately since the QAD is a fairly popular rest.

Not sure what sight you have but let's just say you have a cheapy Cobra, etc. and don't want to re-use it. Then I'd leave it on the bow because it wouldn't bring anything by itself. It really depends on each item and your future plans.

Good Luck whatever you decide!!

Dan

well, the bow is not even a yr old, there is nothing wrong with the bow, I just can't deal with the 6" brace height. I mean if I don't sell it, that's fine I will continue to shoot it until I learn how to. I paid 750$ for it bare in Aug. Now fully loaded,you think 800$ is steep for a topof line bow?? It haseverything to hunt with. either way, we will see, I may not sell it, just may learn to deal with it for another year, but I will probably get rid of it after next season. Unless I become very comfy with it.
