Used bow worth

Guy has a 07 Bowtech Allegiance for sale. Loaded with everything on it including a drop away rest for $400. How good of a bow were these? Worth the price?

Pic isn't showing, but that's high for a bow from that era. And if I remember right, it was that model of Bowtech that was particularly prone to limb splintering. My uncle had to replace his after I ran cotton balls over it and found splintering.

Used bows that are over 10 years old are tough to put a value on. Is it “worth” 400 dollars? Maybe. But can someone find something newer / better for the same price? Probably. There are a ton of newer, used bows out there for 300-400 bucks. And Jesse’s right... those older Blowtechs were notorious for blowing up. I wouldn’t expect more than a couple-hundo for it.

You'll have to attach the pics here instead of the PA.

I'd have to agree with the others. Even loaded it's a hard sell. You'd have better odds and closer to asking price selling the accessories seperate and the bare bow by itself.
