Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

I've tried all the obvious methods...free classified sites on the internet, adds in the PBS mags, blanket trades at some of the bigger shoots...and I'm still in pocession of the bow!! It's been a year!! Any other suggestions? I've never had trouble before..but the bow I've sold in the past were recurves. This is a longbow. Does that make a difference?

Who made the bow? What are the types of wood used and the specs? Maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

More details....well its a right hand, 66" all bocote (one of the most beautiful woods available) Leon Stewart Longbow. Draw weight is 70 lbs at 28". It accepts fastflight, but I use dacron. Shoots 65-70 woodies awesome! I bought it to prove I could handle the challenge of a longbow. I did well with it during the 2000 season and it has seen very little action since. I hate that is is wasting away there. I can rotate between my recurves daily and not loose any accuracy but the demands of the longbow require I constantly practice to maintain compitancy. It sounds corny, but promised I would find it a good home!

I have it posted on Delores Farmers webpage and Brian Cole's Trading Blanket. I'm leery, VERY, of EBay. Again, I feel obliged to find the bow a good home. My 2000 season was incredible and I owe it all to the bow!!!

DEBob - I see your ad on the womensoutdoors site - didn't get any calls huh ? Posting a picture would help I am sure, and I agree, bocote is primo beautiful wood.

70 pounds ! UGHHH, I could never shoot a bow that heavy. Beautiful I bet though. Why be leary of EBAY ? You are the seller, the buyer pays you before you send the bow, and you might sell it for more than you are asking. I as a seller and buyer have had little problems with EBAY.

Same here Stealthy. Very few problems buying or selling on ebay out of almost 400 transactions and dealing with over 300 different people.

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

You cannot beat eBay! I have sold lots of stuff there and bought even more. It has been a great experience. I only got shafted twice in over 150 transactions.

What sort of fee does Ebay charge the seller, & how much trouble is to to register, etc??

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

Vic, I think you need a credit card to sell, but registration is pretty easy. This according to my lady who handles all the financial stuff.

I don't remember exactly how much they charge, but if you go into ebay.com you can check out their fees. The site is layed out pretty well and is easy to check stuff out.

OK Proline, email me LOL!

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

I switched to traditional in 2000 and kept my compound as a backup bow for my recurve. I have a longbow on order so I just sold the compound on Ebay.

One thing I didn't think about was that the weight of the compound jacks the postage up and my $15 charge was insufficient especially since the winning bidder was from Canada. But such is life. I now have some money for the coming longbow and my compound is going somewhere to be used.

I was just thinking that the extra $10 postage I had to pay was worth it to send a compound out of the country. lol

Pro Line - Cheap is relative!<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> Make me an offer I can't refuse!!!

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

Sorry DeBob...I'm a lefty. Besides, I need to make some room before I buy any more crap...Who knows, I may be the one trying to sell something before long!! LOL

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

well, I am starting to wonder, maybe this Robertson I am trying to get rid of is destined for Ebay LOL! man I hope not!

RE: Best Way To Sell A Bow
 

Another good place to buy/sell is at archery.net. I have bought and sold several bows, quivers and other &quot;stuff&quot;.

I've sold a few bows walking around with them at GLLI etc. and by advertising on a coule of the sites. This year it did not seem that anyone walking around the Kzoo expo (myself included) was selling their bows. I'm wondering if maybe money is getting tight. The heavier bows are harder to sell but someone will eventually come around who wants it.
