I thought this might be an interesting topic. I'll start by adding Northern Mist bows. Over the years I hardly ever see them there.
How about V-Archers bows. I guess if you are making a lot of bows, there are more likely to be more in the classifieds, although I have seen a lot of Griffins lately for some reason. Saluki is another that comes to mind.
You almost never see a Blacktail Snakebit for sale.
Not many Saluki's for sure. Not a lot of Zipper or Belcher bows either.
How about a Lone Wolf by John Maus ...One did come up several months ago and I think if the weight wasn't so heavy someone would of grabbed it really fast....Keefer's <")))><
Rodney Wright bows
My personal favorite, Appalachian Archery bows by Dave Guthrie. Heck, there's rumors of a model called "Little Laurel" that I've never even seen, let alone found one to buy.
Arkansas Stickbows by Terry Hughes!
Try finding a 48"-50" Elburg Jaguar Mite, especially with the takedown sleeve. I'd love to find one of those rascals.
owlbait your correct about the Belcher's! Keefer that's another home run you never see John's Lone Wolfs around either! Hey Kevin do you have any info on Appalachian Archery Bows?
I would add "Bill Matlock" you don't see his bows around much. and same goes for his protege, "Bill Vanburskirk" Both make some awesome bows.

been watchin for a sovereign ballistik,,, aint happened yet :D
Once in a while you might see Mikuta or TimberHawk
LeClair Grayling Spirit would love to fine a LH one in the mid 40# range.
Anything made by Red Chavez( Bitterroot Bows) is pretty scarce too.
Pete George longbows, and those made by Van Normand of Wildfork Archery. Frank San Marco's don't come up too often either. Rocky Mountain recurves come to mind on that side.
not too many crooked stic bows, thats my favorite.
Not too many Sweptwings out there either.
LH 1959 Grizzly. would really like one as it is my birth year.
doug77
Very few Green Mountains, Jim Duclos made a fine bow.
G&L Archery, you hardly ever see them up for sale and I know there alot of them out there!
Bows made by Neil Russell, lefties :) Pinnicle.
Pearson Renegade. I saw one sell on the auction site for 177.00 last week. I have one and it's a shooter. Just don't see or hear much about them.
when was the last time you saw one of Roy Courseys' Cook Mountain bows or anything made by Roy Day??..PR
I don't see +/- 50# silvertips in many classifieds. Most of the ones we see are heavy DW's.
Mathews :bigsmyl:
I do not see to many Wes Wallace bows either. One reason I believe we do not see the different bows already listed is the great customer service from the bowerys. This is true in my case. No, not to many Pete george bows either. I can (at 64 years old) still shoot mine at 64# pretty much all day.

Agreed! My 3 pces longbow is a favorite of mine!
F-Manny
Not many Bill Stewart bows being sold ....
I will add to the Wes Wallace bow list. I have a new one after looking for a used one for a year.
Rapture bows. They shoot like CRAZY and the woods he uses is STUNNING! I would lovwe one. And also a Martini bow. Been watching for the right one for 2 years.<><
I've seen at least two Wes Wallace bows for sale on the classifieds in the last couple of weeks.
You dont see many Vinson Minier.
James Berry 1 pc recurve that is a work of art....not many ever built, and it's rare to see one period, much less it being up for sale.
St Charles Thunderbirds aren't offered for sale very often.
I have NEVER seen any Palouse Archery Static tip recurves on ANY of the classifieds/auction sites either.
How about Leon Stewart one piece Slammers. Heck of a bow.
I had a lonetree and sold it. I haven't seen one since.

Groves Spitfires and Jack Howard bows...
Thunder Mt. Bows (Jerry Barr-Bowyer) Other than the couple I have sold, not too many show up.
yeah, never seen a little suckling on there.
Saluki was the first to come to my mind though.
I think alot of this has more to do with supply than demand.
Blacktails are fairly popular though, but never on classifieds.
Robertson Stykbows
Jack Kempf bows...Stealth or Kwyk Styk
Foleys
Habu,
Chris said he builds about 70 bows a year and been doing so since 89 i beleive.You do the math and thats a lot of bows for how often one comes for sale.
Cari-Bow Peregrine...
When I listed my Jeffery Timberline a year or so ago, a search of the classifieds didn't bring up a single hit.
I don't remember seeing Shrews a whole lot until the last year or two when the economy declined. Figures when they're for sale I don't have the money LOL.
I don't see a lot of Timberhawk bows either like was already mentioned.
A bears paw. I bought mine used but have not seen one since...
Brackenbury.
I believe they are called Whisper Creek bows. Made about 100 miles south of Kansas. I used to have the info. You really don't see that many Kota's for sale.
I have NEVER seen a Fred Herman FLYING EAGLE for sale. Shoot one and you'll know why.
Don't see many Hummingbirds either.
Chek-mate Crusaders and Kota Prarie swifts.
And Lynn Harrelson.
Don't believe I have ever seen a Border Super Reiver one piece either.
the lone wolf's from john maus,and the leon stewart bows are rare,the bows made by gus Delgalfio{sp} are realy rare.i have only saw 3 on classifieds in 8 years.
Twotimer, HaHa I beat ya to your Lone Wolf already...Do you miss the one I got from ya? :biglaugh:
Bruin recurves
Kerner. :goldtooth:
Harold Couch. :goldtooth:
Wild Horse Creek bows. I've been looking for one off and on for over 2 years.
I think it funny how you don't see a particular model of bow for a long time, then there seems to be a bunch of them for sale--especially right after I buy something ELSE and spend all my money!
Ain't to many Palmers... Well Lefties??
I had a Black Timber and traded here (I think). Haven't seen one since.
Second the Elburg Jaguar Mite, sleeve t/d. Never, ever have I seen one. I am patient though... it comes with age.
God bless,
Jose
I haven't seen any of the Dakota bows on there.
Nate Steen's Sunset Hills.
For as long as they have been made and the many thousands that are out there, Great Northerns and Robertson Stykbows are pretty scarce.
You never see a Long River longbow from Gus Delagelpha (sp) for sale.
Haven't seen a Sapphire Hawk in the classifieds either.
Fedora

Have only seen one or two Kimsha's. Have never met TP, but have talked to him twice. I will own one someday.
John Maus (Glennie, Mich.) "Autumn Storm" LB. For that matter anything Maus makes (Recurve or LB) seldom shows up in the classified section here or anywhere else. Best kept secret in Michigan. :thumbsup:
You don't see alot of Fred Anderson's (Cascade Archery) bows for sale.
How about an A-Bowyer recurve. I'll be listing it soon.
Bob Morrison one piece Arrapaho.
Never- see a Robertson Peregrine Falcon Recurve - been watching for years.
