Buying bows on Trad Gang
« on: October 06, 2011, 10:14:00 AM »
Just wanted to say thanks to Monkeyball (Craig) for such a smooth transaction with a Bear Kmag I just got from him.  Everything went just the way it should.  Terry, Rob and moderators I know you no longer administer the listings, but I just want to say thanks for the valuable service in the past and continued presence of the used bow listings.  I've gotten 3 used bow heres at Trad Gang and they've all been just as advertised or better.  

Trad Gang rocks!

I have had several transactions on Tradgang, both buying and selling, and all went smoothly. Great bunch of folks here.

I'd like to jump in on this one too dirtguy, and say thanks to Terry, Rob, & mods.

I have bought and sold my share on the TG classifieds, and most recently falling into some trying times have had to sell more than I wanted to. I am grateful for having the outlet and being able to have TG help out my situation.

TG Classifieds, to me, are one of the safest places to buy & sell on the web. There really are a LOT of good people there (here).

I have no problems with people asking me for references, and don't have one asking if I feel even a little bit concerned with a possible deal, but for the most part, you can just search the user a little to set your mind at ease.

I have bought and sold hundreds of bows. I only do so on Tradgang now. I have sent very expensive bows all over the country to Tradgang members to try before they buy. No deposit, just on their word. I haven't been burned and only had great exepriences here, in addition to making new friends.

I haven't ever made a penny on a bow. I just like to try different bows and move them on for someone else to try. In doing so I found the perfect bow for me, but you never know there could be another one right around the corner. It is all fun and good.

Craig is one of the good guys for sure!  They have a list of the people not to do business with, but it would be nice to have a good guys list.  Guess that would be a long list...

I have bought from Craig.....good guy to deal with. I have bought and sold more than my share of bows on this site and have nothing to say but good things about the sellers and buyers here. We are indeed lucky to have such folks to deal with!!   :thumbsup:

I have bought at least a dozen from as many Tradgang members and never had any bad experiences.

Now if I could learn to sell a few!

No problems here, about a dozen purchases and sales on Trag-gang. The one misunderstanding / delay (his wife was involved, lack of communication, bow didn't get sent), and guy sent sent me a HELLE knife with the bow to smooth things over, to make up for the wait. Thanks again John Corlew, you are a Stand up guy, a straight shooter!
Yes, Trad-gang is a nice place to visit and buy / sell / swap, with like minded, ethical, old-fashioned individuals.

I've had nothing but positive experiences buying from the classifieds here.   :thumbsup:  
Only problem I've encountered is bringing myself to list one for sale, just can't seem to do it.   :banghead:
Someday soon I have to start, now have over 60 bows. And most I'll probably never shoot again.   :dunno:

I too have had nothing but positive experiences. It was here that I was able to put together an ILF riser and limbs that fit me very well.

Bawana bowman how did you get 60 bows past your wife and how do you store them?

Just proud of the Trad Members, and not surprising, holding the line of integrity.

Believe it to be beneficial to have a section designated for references.

I too, would like to thank Terry, Rob and all the mods for their unselfish work. I know buying and selling is not the purpose of this site, however, I have discoved it is a wonderful service that makes trying different types of traditional archery equipment easier. I think the dedication needed for traditional archery weeds out most of the squirrels.
Having done so much, with so little, for so long, I can now do anything with nothing.
