Help with value of a Black Widow Long Bow

[Cato]

I have a buddy who tore his shoulder and arm up in an accident last fall, and needs to drop in draw weight.  We are trying to find out his options.  He has a Black Widow LAG long bow that is 54# at 30", and is a 64" bow.  I would say it is at least a 7, and possibly an 8 on a zero to ten scale.

Does anyone out there have a sense of a fair price to ask for the bow?  I have searched the adds and do not find a comparable sale.

Thanks for any feed back.

what year was it built? Id say at least $600 and maybe $700

The LAG was their old style longbow model before the much improved PL come along.  BOHO is close I suppose, but my feeling is $500-600 would be tops in this current soft, used bow market.

Trying to find out the year.  Again, thanks for the help.

I was guessing a little high but you can usually get another $100 if it says Black Widow

I have seen the older Black Widow LAG go from $400 to $500.I sold a couple months ago a PLX bacote in excellent shape for $575,I would think an older LAG would go for much less in this market in my opinion.

Market seems slow right now. I have bought a PLII and a PLIII for right @ $500 each in the past 6 months. They are lefties, which might bring the price down a bit. I am saying $400-$475 for the LAG.
Good luck with the sale of the LAG. Mike

I agree 100%

The market is slow on all bows.

[Cato]

That is still very helpful.  I will send him a link to this thread, and then he can decide.  I am guessing start around $450.

Thanks again for the help.

I am thinking $400-500 max....

There may be someone out there willing to pay $600, but I'd guess it would sell for around $450-550 at best in this market.  It could sell for more on the big auction site, or if sold locally, to a less-informed buyer.  The Tradgangers are usually pretty savvy, and are probably the least-likely group to pay top-dollar.

I think your best bet is to look for a trade.

[Thare1774]

Yeah, I second the trade. Would be more beneficial for your buddy. He would probably get a better deal than if he sold it.

$400-$500 for a LAG I would agree with as well and if it is a 7 out of ten, I would say closer to $400.

i saw a 2 for sale this weekend at the Howard Hill shoot. both were marked $600. IMO 600 is over priced.
