    A guy I know has a Bowtech Carbon Knight for sale $600 everything included. Not the best accessories but never the less is this a good deal? Bow looks to be in good condition. Thinking about it for a back up to my Halon. What does everybody think does this seem high?
    Thanks

    Price seems high, eBay shows prices $100-150 lower. IMHO do some back of the envelope math to value the extras he's including and see if he'll take less...

    You can likely do better unless they are top end accessories.

    I bought one brand new and set up and tuned from a bow shop for $520. Even came with 6 carbon arrows and a brand new release.

    Top dollar for sure. Decent bow but not at that price. I would be thinking $400 - $450 if it was in perfect condition.

    I just paid $475 for the carbon icon which is a model year newer than the knight. It's a bare bow, but I can get it set up for less than 125.

    Ya he said he was offered $500 and didn't take it. I'm going to keep looking. I'm just looking for a back up bow doesn't have to be top of the line its just going to be on the bench incase anything happens to my Halon.
    Thanks for he response.
