My experience has been, that I can move a used Elite for more money and a quicker sale, then I could my used Hoyts and Bowtechs. Archerytalk classifieds, the buzz about Elites on Archerytalk..other forums, is of course the reason for this. Because of the fewer Elite dealers, fewer used Elite bows on the market, I get more bang for my buck on resale. The AT classifieds, and local dealers(and nationwide dealers), Ebay, Craigslist, are full of used Hoyts, Mathews, and Bowtechs. Too much competition to get a good price for them used, and they depreciate worst then a used mobile home. But the high resale of the Elites still wouldn't matter to me, if the Elites weren't a superior bow to other brands I have shot.
Here is an example of why I KNOW these Strother bows will be a good financial decision. Here is a Strother Vanquish on AT in the classifieds. SOLD in one day. MSRP is $780 for the bow, and the guy sold it for $725. Try that with a used Hoyt, Mathews, or Bowtech. Isn't happening.
