Thanks for the feedback. I am not new to Ebay, and I know that you have to be careful and consider the seller's credentials, due diligence and all.

I am a novice as of yet, but I have a fairly good idea what sort of bow he would prefer and we will confirm that by testing out some floor models. If we did go the used route, I would immediately bring it in and pay the pros to install a new string and give it a good look before going forward with using it.
