I don' t know what you can get for it, I would take it to a Martin dealer and have them price it. I have had real good luck selling a couple bows on ebay. If you get several people bidding on it they can really drive the price up. Once you sell it, just ship it to them after you recieve your money. I would spend a extra $100 around $560 and buy a Bowtech Extreme VFT or maybe a little more and get a Matthews Q2 or LX. You want grow out of these bows at all.

I bought a 2002 Hoty Protec on ebay for $400, a 2002 Bowtech Generation 3 for $350, and a few other in that range. Wait until the spring, after the new line-ups come out, you will be able to get 2002 and 2003 bows at 1/2 the price paid for them 1 year earlier. Or you could go to a pro shop, depending on how confident you are that you can pick the RIGHT rig for you. Good luck.
BTW, there is nothing wrong with a 1999 bow.

Are you sure you' re growing out of the bow ? Perhaps you might just need to have the bow adjusted a bit. If you' re young you' ve likely done alot of growing since 1999. You may need to have your draw lengthened, peep sight adjusted, etc. I' d swing by a pro shop and have them look at things.
