My buddy bought his last bow from online. He was looking for a Matthews Drenalin and it just so turned out that the guy selling it lived only a few miles away. So he was able to call the guy to go over there and see it. He looked it over and ended up buying it. If it were me though, I wouldn't by it otherwise. Even if it were new, becuase buying it online vice a registered dealer from the manufacture automatically voids the warranty and if it's used, like others have stated you really don't know what you are getting yourself into. Although you could end up getting a real good deal? I still pay the extra money to buy from a registered dealer so that I can get the lifetime warranty especially if I'm paying around $700 for it!

Good luck
