Default Switchback prices on Ebay

After about a year of wishing , I purchased a new XT a couple of weeks ago. I looked at new and used ones on Ebay before I decided to go with a new one from the bow shop. Can someone explain to me why they sell on Ebay for more than what I paid for a brand new one at a shop? Are they hard to get in some parts of the country ?? Just curious if anyone knows. By the way I love the XT . It is fast and super quiet. I have already busted a nock/arrow within 2 weeks and tore up some of my vanes from the tight groups.

probably because they come with the sight, rest, quiver, etc. Ive been thinking about bidding on one of those some have really good prices. most people probably want to sell them for what they paid for them.

Congrats on the new bow
I have an original Switchback and love it!

The answer to your question,
There are a lot of dumb people on Ebay
For a purchase like a bow,I feel you are better off going to your local pro shop anyway. Even if Ebay was a few bucks less.
Sounds like you got the best of both,a lower price and local service!
Win,Win for you.

I have also seen some of the prices people pay on ebay and scratch my head in confusion. Why would someone buy a used bow for only 100 bucks less than a new one and not have a warranty? Spend the extra 100 for peace of mind and a lifetime warranty.

Some things just shouldn't be sold on ebay.
