The economy must really be bad

I look at them more as the thumb in the dike and hope they stand their ground

I agree with the original post - it does look as if great bows are hanging on a long time at low prices. I've only bought (3 so far) never sold on TG.  Given the competitive market, I am surprised by how many bows are offered for sale w/o pictures.

If the price is right, they will sell.

I see a few interesting LH bows (lefty here), but as of 6 months or so, prices have gone up. Sellers shave a couple of hundred from original cost. Originally was $650, will sell for $475.
I rarely see a good longbow for under $450 used.
It's just not worth it unless the bowyer's waiting list is too long, because they rarely are the specs you want.
And still too few post pics.

Price for gas in Alaska has been over $4.00 for nearly as long as I've been here (6 years).  I have sold several bows at near asking price in the last few months.  I guarantee if a 2 pc Centaur dark matter showed up it would be gone within a day or two.  I personally don't see anything to my taste in there right now.  Maybe Rats Stewart Slammer

Economy seems to be picking up here.  Maybe people are just more careful with their  money than they used to be.  About time imo.

I figure everyone is just stocking up on ammunition while they still can.  Economy has been ok up here the last 6 months, gas through the roof of course, but times are still tight for a lot of folks.  I'm just glad the turnout at the events up here hasn't fallen off too much.  Hopefully a good turnout at Western States this weekend

I think most of the activity in the classifieds in the last year were a very few of us buying and selling, a lot.  I think some of those moving it, myself included, finally figured out what works for us and have quit or slowed way down on the buying.  Give it a couple of months and a couple of new guys will come along looking for the "perfect" bow.

In 1985 I was in the. Union making 23 $ an hr in 2004 that. Would have to be 60.00$an hr to have the same buying power.also I had full coverage insurance for my family back then and my employer put 20cents an hr into my retirement people have no idea what we have. Lost.of course being in the union meant something we were united when the cost ofliving went up we went on strike. I have great memories of the crews I worked with and we always made money for the company.the unions are where they were 100 yrs ago.I wasnt born a moment too soon.
