I have a 2011 Hoyt Rampage with m4 cams (cam and a half). It's a 60# bow and in near perfect condition. The cams are still on time, never been dropped, never even hunted with it. I just bought it last year and then was too busy last season to hunt with it. I'm considering trading it in for the Hoyt Rampage XT. For those of you not familiar with the specs difference, it's only a small amount of difference. The XT is 32a2a and the Rampage is 34a2a The XT and Rampage both have a 7 inch brace height. The XT has fuel cams (a little smoother, little faster) and the Rampage has m4 cams (same Cams the Vixcen has). The XT has an IBO of 323fps and the Rampage is 306fps. I want the smaller a2a, more speed/KE. My question to you is: how much difference do you think I should offer them when I go into trade? My bow + how much extra cash? What do you think a reasonable deal would be?
First thing i would ask them is if they have any of last years crx 32's left that work for you. You'll get a better deal, it's still gonna have a warranty, and it will give you waht you are really looking for. as far as your bow goes stripped down new that bow is about $599 I would say hope for $400 but if the deal is right one the whole trade then dont worry about the actuall cash they are giving you for your bow. Just keep in mind you'll never get all of your money back out on any bow and they need to make money so they can stay open. If you wanted to go up to 70#s my buddy has a couple in his shop that I know you can buy at a great price. if you want to try to work something out with him
I think it kind of depends on the market you are in. Around here the standard Rampage sales new for $499. And the XT sales for $599. I would say here if you got $300 for it you would be doing well and would more than likely be around the $250 mark on trade in. I have been offered around $700 trade in on my Element and New it's $1199-1299 depending on what county you are in really. It's the 2012 RKT. I could probably sell it out right to the right person for $900-$1000.
