I would say that is probably a pretty good buy. Go to eBay and see what people are willing to pay for them. Mathews is usually a strong seller on eBay.

Shoot it and make sure you like it, and make sure the draw is right for you. If everything is good you probably aren't making a bad purchase.

If everything is in great shape it is a good buy... Make sure you won't have to dump more $$ into it because it wasn't taken care of.

I would say that is a good buy.

Just make sure that the bow fits for you. (draw length)

Good buy but tell the seller that it is an insult to have a Whisker Biscuit on a Mathews.

It IS??? Thats too bad 'cause I just bought a new S2 and that's what I'm going back to.I had a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone and had nothing against it but for hunting I like that biscuit.

Sounds fair to me....get him to knock another $50 off.

I wouldn't want that whisker bisket, so basically you get a used switchback and a sight......?
