I guess you could say that I was lucky to get my Super Necedah. I was the only person to bid on it and I got it for $70.00 earlier this year, in May.
It's really a great looking bow... zebrawood riser and tip overlays, black back and belly lams, and no scratches, gouges, or stress cracks. The bow was real dirty and had a light haze of paint overspray on one limb when I got it but a bit of elbow grease and some Maguire's auto compound, followed by wax, and she's as good as new.
I think that most people shy away from a dirty bow for fear of not knowing how to clean one.
You are right... we ought to keep it "on the down-low" regarding the shooting characteristics. The price of bows is certainly on an upswing. No need to add to the inflation.
Thanks for the comment. And best of luck on finding your lefty Cascade. They are a cool bow!
