Title: Just a helpful heads up for you lucky collectors
Post by: hardwaymike on December 13, 2011, 01:24:00 PM
On the c___gslist website in West Branch MI, there is a guy selling off his collection of old bear's and other trad bows. I do not know who it is or what he is asking for any of them but I thought that if anyone would appreciate knowing this it would be the folks here on TG. Hope I am not breaking any rules by putting this on here. If I had the money I would be calling him but trust me, I am not running for my phone,lol. Good luck and Happy Holidays folks. Mike

I just looked it up and it sounds like he has a budle of bows. Every year Kodiak, T/D's and more.
I don't know who it is(I don't think I do).

The seller goes by "lure100" on the big auction board. For what it is worth he has a serious 'angry man' syndrome.

Like I said, I do not know the person that has them I just seen them on there today and thought that it might help some of my fellow tradgangers fill some gaps in there collection. Hope I helped someone out anyways. Happy Holiday's, Mike.

That is lure100 on the auction site that I would avoid. No screaming deals there anyway even IF they were nice bows and the transaction went smooth. Jim

Would it be better to go with AIGplastic for screaming deals on the auction site?

No screaming deals there either just great hard to find stuff accurately described so there are no surprises. Jim

Got the list........  :scared:  

Based on the numbered list that was emailed, it appears that some bows were removed from the list.  Either that or the numbering is off.

I guess the 60 Kodiaks are still pretty dear up in that part of the country.....a bit out of my price range!

Took a look at the michigan one yesterday and I thought "what the heck, I'll look on my local one" never anything on there anyhow. Didn't expect this....

I just noticed that this list (an earlier list BTW) was posted on another trad web site, with a link to it on yet another trad web site.

It appears that some of the bows have been sold, including a LH Type 1 "A" handle (Felix - did you grab that one?), which was not on the list that I received.  It appears that we were late for the party!

I would be very leery of this seller. I am speaking from experience.
