Title: Value of a few Bows
Post by: Dustin Waters on October 30, 2009, 11:20:00 AM

A buddy wants to sell some of his bows.  I told him Im first on the list.  I need to know the value of the following bows.  In other words what would you pay for them used.

Original Brackenbury
Sidekick
Drifter

Takedown Fred Asbell Bighorn w/original case it came in

Any ideas on the values of each.  Thi is more for the both of us, he wants a reasonable price and I dont want to make him think he got ripped off later down the road.

They are worth what someone will pay for them. Sorry but value is subjective. Check on the big auction site to see what some have sold for. Other than that, put a price on them that satisfies you and see what happens. Not sure on how collectible the sidekick and drifter are, the Bighorn will have some following.

I was thinking like 250-300 for the bracks and probably 600 for the bighorn?

Is that too far off.

Danny is right for the most part.  A big portion of value will depend on condition, RH or LH, weight/dimmensions of bow.

For an "original" Brack in great shape in a popular weight (45-55), you may be a little low.  Regardless of condition and weight on the Big Horn, too high....IMO, of course.
