    I'm trying to sell my bow to upgrade. What's the best way to get it sold?

    Ask for a fair price for the condition it is in.

    Don't try to get out of it what you have put into it.

    The classified section might be a good place to start. Eh?

    If you have it priced right, AT's classifieds are hard to beat.

    The BH.com classifieds and archery talk suggestion is more what I was looking for. How do you receive payments when you sell stuff on the internet like that?

    The best way is to have a PayPal account. Otherwise it's the old check in the mail routine and hoping that you don't get shafted. It's your listing, you get to dictate the terms of the transaction. If it's someone I know and trust I'll take their word that "the checks in the mail" and go ahead and ship it. Otherwise I'd hold on to the merchandise until the check clears the bank.

    Another way is to only accept US Postal money orders if you don't have a paypal account. When you get the MO,the post office can cash it for you,then you ship the bow

    Ebay is a great place to sell bows at a fair price, fast, but fees are pretty high :(
