    If your going to buy a used bow, I would suggest looking on Craigslist and finding something local - that way you can talk to the previous owner, inspect for damamge, etc... But that's just my preference...

    I just bought a really nice used Parker for a friend on CL... Was 3 years old, flawless (never even been hunted with), trophy taker rest, G5 sight, nice case, arrows, Fletcher release, etc. - $200... There are some great upgrade options out there if a guy does some looking...

    CL doesn't allow you to sell bows or(weapons) I thought? I've tried and they always delete my listing.

    You can't sell firearms/weapons.... All types of archery stuff on there, including bows.. May be worth doing a quick search to see what's listed in your local area...

    I bought my diamond Marquis off of eBay, but it was new and from a big seller. I would personally look on archerytalk.com in their classified section. There are lots of good used bows on there for a good price.
