Chuck, I noticed the following sentence in the current listing:

"Bow has a barely noticable slight twist on one limb, thus cannot guarantee that it can be shot."

The buyer may have returned the bow after noticing the "slight twist on one limb".

It is also possible that the previous auction was won by a "friend", so the bow is now being conveniently relisted.

Chuck, I went back and looked at the seller's number of feedbacks (5-digits) and decided that he probably does not have the time to play games using friends for an item that is not bringing as much as he would like it to, so my guess is that the previous buyer returned the bow because of the twisted limb.

I didnt try because i am new to trad archery and at the time i didnt know that could be done. It was so twisted that when i drew the bow back the string would almost come off the tip, it was bad.
