Super User deaknh03 Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Be aware that now ebay usually has increments for bidding on listings. So instead of using the $0.03 trick it makes you bid in set increments. So if you have it set for $20.03 as your max bet it will bid you to $20.00 and that is it. Sometimes it is $0.25 sometimes it is $0.10, sometimes it is $0.50, all depends on the current price of the item. Rarely do they allow you to bid in oddball increments like $13.73. Most people put in $10, $20, $25, etc so putting a little extra in is key. Your right, depending on how high the price is, you have to bid in increments, so if the price is $130 for a chronarch, the next bid would need to be $131, and by bidding $131.09, your still playing the same game.

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted June 28, 2013 Super User Posted June 28, 2013 What's your draw length and what do you want to spend? I've never shipped a bow but could check what it would cost. I have a compound that I'm not using any more and it's a GREAT bow. Browning Mirage 33 I believe. Quote
jhoffman Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 dude you need to head to the archerytalk.com classifieds. People practically give bows away on there, prices the bay will never see. Bought both my current bows there in 2009 = bought my elite gt500 ninja(one of the best bows of all time) = $400 shipped to my house ($800 bow new) in 2010 = added another bow, Martin Firecat TR2 = BRAND NEW from a shop closing $325 shipped to my house($600 bow new) http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=100 Quote

jhoffman Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 If you want, and you find a bow send me a link and ill tell you if that price is a deal or not. I am going to suggest with this being your first bow that you stay away from dual cam systems as they can be a tuning nightmare. However, if you want something super fast you likely wont have a choice on this and have to have dual or hybrid cams. A single or "solo" cam system is forgiving in more ways than one. Quote

I've been running a horse bow. Shooting 125lbs at 31in draw. Quote
jhoffman Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 GOOD LORD, my shoulder would be in chunks, its already been rebuilt once. I shoot 58lbs and with the right arrow still get 290fps. Quote

I shoot 58lbs and with the right arrow still get 290fps. I've never chronographed mine. I'm curious what my bows shoot though. I ended up getting an 07 PSE xforce SS. Dude wanted 700 for it. We worked out a trade on it. No cash involved. Yay me. Its set up at 65 or 60 lbs at 30in draw. 1 Quote
