Where else but our own Classifieds?

[Sixby]

Be sure to check out the Sponsers site on the classifieds too. I have never sold there but someone always has great deals on bows and knives and materials ect there. When I leave here I almost always check out the Trad bow sales. I get myself in a lot of trouble doing that but man , a man has to do what a man has to do.
The paltry fee is the best money you will spend entertainment wise but and when you see that great deal you better grab her fast. I was looking at that Toelke static recurve myself. I could not believe what it sold for and what a deal for the lucky guy that bought it.

God bless, Steve

Guess I am like a lot of others here, really cheap.  I have never considered accessing the classifieds as part of my thought process when paying for my contributing membership each year.  As much time as I spend on this site each year, thirty bucks is a bargain.  The classifieds are just an added bonus.  TANSTAAFL.

I currently have a bow listed here and another site where it receives more traffic however I prefer to sell my bow here because I know the buyer will more than likely not try and scam me out of the bow. There is something to say about comfort levels...

Just to clarify. my post is not about a fee.
If you use the Classifieds, whether to look or buy/sell....its a great place. If you choose not to because of a fee involved, to each their own. Nothing wrong with that, stick to your values.
For those that do use the classifieds, its awesome. Like I said, where else do you buy a bow and get a free quiver with it without knowing until the bow arrives?
Or after a sale, end up setting up a hunt somewhere the upcoming season with the person you just dealt with?
How about getting a surprise bow mailed to your door free because you are injured, made a comment on a bow in the classifieds that you liked the bow but couldn't consider it because of your heath/injury? Then a 25# old bow shows up because someone gives a damn and wants to help you keep shooting?
I threw some extras in one time for a guy and he goes and sends me a knife he made himself.
I sent some extras to a trad brothers kids once and the photos of them all with giant smiles and thank you signs is the best thing I ever received.

This is an outstanding place to buy sell and trade. Just plugged some numbers in the e*** fee calculator.

Example, bow listed on the big auction site with a minimum bid of $500, reserve of $750 and a selling price of $900. Total fees to sell------$99.50. Makes $30 look pretty good!

The classifieds are the bane of my existence!! I was a one bow man till I discovered Tradgang and the seductress they call the classifieds!!!  It calls to me...tantalizes me.... Then to weed out the scammers, they implemented the contributor factor.....I thought I was saved!!  but I caved.  

I've bought some really beautiful high end bows for as much as half the price and with out the wait!!  I'm pretty sure that I have my dream bows now!!

I'm not real sure why my post was deleted...it was just my opinion, and certainly wasn't offensive.

I love the classifieds and don't mind the fee. I think he's talking about the guy that's high lighted in the post about Bass Pros.

[Keith Zimmerman]

Wrong guy David.  But its not needed, I know you helped my buddies kids before.  Thanks again.

Yornock,

Not to you.  Not sure how you took it toward you.

I know one thing, I can't post from a phone anymore, cause I goof everything up.

One guy left a couple of days ago because I created a duplicate post, and I removed one that had a few less post on it that weren't on the other one, and some guys thought I deleted there's and one guy left over it.

[Terry Green]

Huntingnut....don't know anything about your post, dont' remember it and sure didn't delete it.

[Terry Green]

I'm now going to close this thread so it wont be seen as a 'hail to the chief' thread.

Thanks Yornock....like I said, it wouldn't be the same if I said it....so thank you, and it has been a success.

[Terry Green]

I opened this back up just to say thanks.  I got back into town last night, and the paypal and checks that were on my desk this AM were more validation of the decision we made to 'clean up' the classifieds.

Thanks to all those that contributed due to this thread, and those that wrote notes that it was based on the other thread that got locked.

I''m going to draw for the free hunt probably in April.

Thanks again.
