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?

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.

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.
