Caveat emptor.
Sure, there are deals to be had, but there are times when you think a great deal turns out to not be so. I made a stupid mistake by buying a bow on Ebay, and regretted it. I then bought a new Allegiance and I don't regret spending the extra cash for the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing that I'm the only one, save for the factory and the tech that set it up, to have ever shot that bow. I also know that everything is going to be put together right, and you won't have any unpleasant surprises due to carefully concealed problems, and if there is something screwed up with my new bow, Bowtech will take care of me for as long as I own it, with the exception of normal wear items, of course.
