Title: Used bow prices
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on March 04, 2023, 07:44:54 PM: Trying to figure out a value on a used bow someone i know has for sale. pse x-force omen pro, spot hogg 7 deadly pin sight, not sure on the rest forgot to ask him and he's has half dozen arrows and broadheads. He wants $700, he only used it one season. Fair deal? He said he bought it new around 2015. Is there any site where I can get a ballpark price?

Factor in saving on sales tax and you are further ahead. Condition of item, manufacturers warranty also factors in. There’s a lot of Facebook groups where you can find comparable items to determine value.

I paid $700 for a bare bow, flagship Hoyt at the time that was 3 years old.

Since it's not a bare bow, see if the accessories are what you would want. Chances are the arrows are the wrong length so I wouldn't consider that any value.
