I would agree with you to some extent, however there are certain brands that you definitely will not lose $200 on. Maybe $200 under the MSRP, but not $200 under a normal selling price when bought new.

I'm basing my post on MY experience with ebay and selling used bows. Theres an exception here and there for sure. Mathews sometimes sell for more than retail. Mostly in areas that lack alot of bowshops,in themountains and real rural areas mostly.
I wasn't going to name names, but yeah. I've sold quite a few 1-2 year old Mathews online and they move quickly and for a premium. Last year my XT (we sell them new for $689 at the shop) sold on ebay for $685 several thousand arrows later and well used for 5-6 months and after the Dren's were released.
