Great Yard Sale Deal.......Finally!
« on: June 21, 2014, 06:12:00 PM »
Well, after hearing about others coming across good deals on trad bows and equipment at yard sales and wondering, "Why can't I ever find a deal like that?", it finally happened today.

I was off work today, which is rare, and my wife showed me a newspaper ad that said something about a "traditional bow, arrows, and misc." listed with a bunch of other stuff in the yard sale section.

Well, I couldn't get there fast enough and here's what I bought:

Ben Pearson Hawk recurve, 45#@28"

6-brand new, in the box, 3 Rivers POC wood arrows

G. Fred Asbell Wool Pullover in Silent Stalker Plaid in brand new condition

100% Wool Sweater in green

2 each Coleman Dual Fuel single burner stove

All of this for.......wait for it.......wait for it.......wait for it..............$24.00! Yes, I said $24.00.

The only thing wrong with anything was that the bow has some "crazing" on the back of both limbs and the Coleman stoves wouldn't pump up. I oiled the pump thingy and now one of them works perfectly and the other one may need the pump rod assembly replaced. NO complaints from me though.

Great deal! That Pearson should be a piece of cake to refinish.

You did real good.  Little scraping and some new finish makes those Pearson's clean up good.
