Buy right after season so you have a long time to get used to your bow.
Sell at any point other than right around Christmas when most folks have extra expenses. If you price your bow fairly, someone here will take it. Folks here trade bows like baseball cards.

If its going to be used for hunting, just give yourself enough time to get things right with it.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills. He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I just sold two bows after Christmas, then bought a new Abbott with income tax refund money.

" Folks here trade bows like baseball cards. "
Never collected baseball cards, so it's hard for me to make a direct comparison. It has been a few, though

If it's not listed you can't buy it or sell it. I would say any time,

Tax return time, unless you offer an exceptional deal on a bow right now they are not selling great. I have seen bows that 4 years ago would of went for $250 more than now. I mean Widows just a couple years old, for $500-550 is kind of unheard of! Shawn

My experience on selling is that the Great Deal is needed to move things along. At any time.
Therefore, be the same for buying.
Good somehow doesn't cut it...

The best month to buy is when you have the money, and the best one to sell is when you need the money. A great bow will hold it's value either way. A good one...not so much.
