ORIGINAL: cardeer

I buy them at estate auctions and flea markets for 10 to 30 dollars sometimes. Worse depreciation on a bow then a used toilet
Them must be some nice bows. It's all what the market will bear and even though they may shoot OK, nobody wants to buy them after a few plus years.

I should of been clearer on my post. The old fred bear,ben pearson bows in good condition are collectibles and become worth a few bucks . I had a ben pearson bow kit with 6 wood arrows,arm protector and finger grips in the original box I bought at a yardsale for 5.00.Sold it on ebay for 642.00 LOL

Yes most bow's don't hold thier value after about 3 season's ,if you sell your bow every other season you'll get the best price for it, but after that they depreciate alot faster.Your best to sell to someone that you might know who is interested in your bow or as other's have said try e-bay or our classified's on this forum.

If I were you, I would wait and see what 2006 has to offer and save your money between now and then, that would be your best bet in my eyes

A Mathews bow and a Lone Wolf deer stand sells for a new price sometimes on E-bay. These guys go crazy over these things. So yes you will get a good price for it if you sell it there.

I paid about 400 for my Feathermax in 97 today you would be lucky if you could buy it for 10,000 . you got a lx and your thinking of a trade for a new model??? Build a history with your bow learn it and love it.
