I took my old bows and put them on ebay. i could not get $20 apiece at a garage sale, but I got $100 for the two of them on ebay. Then I sold my Reflex to someone here all set up for $200. Over at AT I found a 2004 Bowtech Patriot all set up with a case for $400, so I upgraded a bunch for $100. Worked out great. I would bet that you have something in the basement at home that someone here or on ebay would pay for that you haven't used in years. That would up your amount by ?????? With $500, you get get a real nice bow all set up like you want it and not have to settle for something less. Look around, deals are out there. I also sold off an old 35mm camera that I had no intentions of using again and got over $100 for it. It was a $800 camera when I bought it, but honestly I would not use it now that I had my digital so I got rid of it while it was still good.
Good Luck, then we can go to Downtown Video Archery and shoot some screen!
