Selling a bow with a name on it?

[Sam McMichael]

I once bought a bow that had another guy's name on it, and it did not bother me at all. I have wondered from time to time who he was, why he sold it, and what the history of the bow is; however, I never tried to follow up on that.

Humm, that's a tuff one. IMHO, if you took great care in research and ordering a custom bow and  it turned out you didn't like it for what ever reason, I would immediately contact the bowyer.  If no satisfaction was reached, by both parties, then yes, sell it but expect a reduction. Most reputable bowyers will try to accommodate you, because they don't want negative press.  I, myself, couldn't do it. If I ordered it and it had my name on it, it's mine forever and I wouldn't part with it.  Hang it up and admire it, if need be.  Just my opinion.
