Anybody have any idea of the value of a Ben Pearson Take Down??
The bow is a Signature 7330
Serial#: 157384B
58" 45lbs at 28"

Worth what someone will pay.
Depending on who is bidding, and the condition, I have seen them go fro $50.00 to about $175.00

came out in 1969 for 85.00. They were 93.50 in 1971.

I have 5 Ben Pearson Signatures. he cheapest I got for $65.00, the highest was $125.00 but it was in great shape, 49# and came with the custom case. Their price will depend on the market (right now recurve market is down), the condition, what comes with it, and how may people with money are bidding on it. Old bows have two values. Shooter value, and collectors value. Collectors can really mess up the bidding for shooters.
In 1964 a New Kodiak listed for $64.95, and could be bought for about $32.50.
Try touching one for that today.
About three years ago I picked up a 55# '64 Kodiak in mint condition from another collector. I paid $500.00. I had been chasing 50# 64 Kodiaks on **** and could never win one. Now on **** you don't know what ya got until it is in your hand. Knowing this collector and trusting his word on the condition, I bit the bullet. 50# are haed to find. 55# are near imposible.
What is it worth? It is worth what someone will pay. I paid $500.00. Can I get my money back? Who cares.
