Two C Risers, 1 wood & 1 Magnesium.
One of those bows is worth the bid right now.
Heck...I still might go more unless someone here says they are going for it.
-
Well I am not going to bid on them.. So by all means go for it man............
Cody

I'm definately watching it....
-
Yep me too.
-
You two should determine who is willing to go the most, and the other one back off. No sense in running the bid up on each other.
-
The seller has "0" feedback - quite a package of bows for a novice seller ...

Anyone????????

Winning bid: US $611.50

I noticed that...I also noticed that he has no knowledge of traditional bow, or terminology abouth them. He started his bidding at $100.
I figured he picked up the lot at an estate sale or something and had no idea of what he had. Just something he could try to sell on ****.
I bet he is shocked at what he got for the lot. If he knew anything about traditional archery, he could have listd them all separately, with good descriptions and pictures and he probably would have gotte twice what he did. but he got a
The winning bidder was M***S.
Don't know who that is but he got a HELLAVA DEAL.
-
I decided to stay away. Not only does he have a zero feedback, but if you look at the bids there was another zero bidder that kept bidding things up. I'm not sure if I smell a rat or not. Plus the auction states no returns. It is a high risk/high reward thing. I decided to err on the side of caution.

I asked some questions and never got a answer. When spending that much money i like to have some ideal what im getting.

Or the guy is no novice, but a scammer. He had photos galore, all the info posted, and to me, it was odd that he listed all this bounty in one ad.
If the paypal account for a zero seller can be opened and emptied before the goods arrive, the winner may be a big loser.
I would advise the winner to freeze the account as soon as it is pay-paled - that way paypal can hold the money in escrow just to be safe.
-
Unless y'all know something I don't, Paypal will stand behind it.
Only way I would buy in a case like this is through Paypal.
-
Looked at all the pictures again and the bid history and it looks like the classic flim-flam - everything about the ad appeals to greed and the lure of taking advantage of somebody - and that is what a grifter thrives on.
What good is the paypal "guarantee" if the guy closes out his paypal as soon as he transfers the money to his bank account. Then if he empties that bank account, paypal can do nothing.
Paypal could freeze his assets if he had other things selling, but his "estate" is a one shot deal.

This site is the only place I felt safe buying old kodiaks, and so far every tradganger has delivered the goods better than advertised.

TonyW, Thanks for the education. Was an odd listing and the zero feedbacks did catch my eye. Anytime I ask a question and don't get a response I stay away!!!
