I don't factor in resale value when buying a new bow. I look at buying a new bow as just an expense because honestly I have never sold one of my old bows. I have given a couple away to friends wanting to get into bow hunting and have successfully converted two. But if I were to sell a bow then I would factor in the resale value somewhat. I am still going to go with the one I want but as you know you can get more money for an Ally than you can a PSE Nova.
