'Course there's always the rare exception--O.L. Adcock bows were that exception, for a little while--you could sell one used for more than they cost new--but you still had to wait a long time, that didn't last very long, and obviously they weren't "the" bow for everyone who bought one. Those who paid out the nose for one just because they were hard to get for a little while lost, IMO.
You are right about that. I could have sold mine for double what I paid for it. Sometimes I wish I did. - Not to say that it isn't a great bow.
