A 60 is a sweet shooting bow, but it's not a '59. The price is high to me. I just bought a Kodiak Magnum and a Black Bear for $50 a piece.

Well you got a hell of a buy at fifty bucks a piece. 395 is too much tho. 250- 300 is where id say its worth (to me anyways)

I never pay much more then that. I did pay $60 for a '62 Kodiak Special I ended up trading for a Flintlock.

I agree that the price is a bit high.  If it was in like new condition maybe.  Like Eddie, I buy Bear bows often for $50.00 or less often here in Michigan. Some folks price bows to sell and some price them to keep.

Ive always been able to sell bows at near what i bought them for. Round here they pretty well hold value. I cant speak for how it works in other areas but i know as fact that i bought a bow at a good deal a few years ago and could now sell it at a profit

Generally there are two types of sellers. ones who over price and over value items, and those who under price and undervalue items. When someone looks online and sees 5 bows for $300, they then post their bow at $300. The others throw theirs up for $50 and they get snatched up. the correct answer is they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. Be it $500 or $10.

Ive got to agree with internet prices skewing actual value. Im fortunate enough to be good friends with an archery tackle dealer so i dont get taken or accidentally make unfair deals (according to him) (bear in mind too my prices are in a northern canadian market)

I'm waiting to go back up to Alberta, the job proposal was submitted. I never get to go without seeing that white stuff on the ground. Something about mobilizing the drill rigs till the permafrost is frozen.

And I don't pee till I get back to Florida, too much trouble to shed clothes, get out a flash light, and squat.
