RE: Resale value important?
I agree; I mean, I've got to admit it -- I usually have pretty expensive tastes, and usually end up with top-of-the-line stuff in most whatever I'm buying -- so I usually don't have to even worry about that.
But, truthfully, I don't buy hunting equipment with even the thought of selling it at a later point... I have sold one gun in my life (aRemington Model 7400 chambered in 30-06, because I knew I'd never deer hunt with arifle again)and I still regret that. I won't be selling off too many other bows or guns in the foreseeable future...
