Thanks to Bill (WarDancer) and Danny (Ric O'Shay) a sweet 3 way deal happened fast.
Danny had a '59 Kodiak Special I had my eye on.
Danny wanted to trade for a Hill or Northern Mist longbow.
Bill had a Northern Mist with stats that Danny was looking for.
I posted pictures for Bill of his bow in his ad and also PMed Danny the pictures.
This was yesterday.
Today I sent a PO Money order to Bill. Bill shipped his bow to Danny and Danny shipped his to me.
Sweet smooth fast deal.
Thanks Danny and Bill, great dealing with you guys.
Gil
Now that's teamwork!
hey Gil thats what its all about right there :thumbsup:
Me and two other guys did a deal like which also involved a Northern Mist and a 59 Kadiak by Saxson that went smooth..... :)
Man, sounds like big league player trades!
Way to go, guys. I never thought of working things like that. Food for thought...
Sounds like a great deal all the way around! I go one step further when selling a bow. I normally provide my phone number to the buyer or seller so they feel confident in who they are dealing with and they can also call with any questions. Had some great conversations over the years with folks who post here.

Now that is the kind of "creativity" that is needed. Congrats to all parties.
Did the same thing with a couple of pair of Zipper limbs....everyone was happy in the transaction!
Yep, that's Tradgang for ya. Danny I I did a similar thing last summer. Tradgang rocks
:archer:

Great story about ingenuity at work.
I bought, traded and sold over 400 bows over the Internet, nearly all through Tradgang. Now I just try my best to buy and sell through Tradgang.
I have never made a $ on a bow. I buy them right and then move them for what I paid. I usually just do it to try other bows.
I have made many friends buying, trading and selling on Tradgang. It isn't about money, it is about a win win deal.
This is the first time I ever did a three way deal and I couldn't have worked with any better than Bill or Danny.
If something happened to the deal I would drive out to them to make it right if I had to. I think most Tradgangers are like that.
I have sent many high end bows for a try and buy to Tradgangers and have never had any grief doing it.
Between the integrity and mutual respect of the members, that is what makes this site great. On other sites I have offered more than once to drive out to meet someone and not because I wanted to make the deal right. Here that doesn't happen.
Thank
Gil
Buyin again huh?
Glad for the good trade Gil with some pick of the litter bows! Trust Triumvirate right there!
Hope my wife doesn't hear that there are 3-ways happening on here. She thinks I am on here too much the way it is! :eek:
Guys -
Gil took the initiative and got the ball rolling. I got in touch with Wardancer, let Gil know what I was doing and all three of us came to a quick meeting of the minds and "viola!" The deal was done. Stuff went from NJ to NM, NM to TX and from TX to NJ. Everything should arrive at their new owners and respective states on Thursday.
Danny
Buddy you know first hand what I am talking about as far as dealing with Tradgang members and members from other sites. This what a deal should be.
I can't help myself Old Bears, Harrison and NM longbows, perfect together! Ha!
Bill was willing to take a check but I had to get cash from my savings and a PO money order, so my boss wouldn't feel the pain and pass it on to me! Know what I mean!
Danny great deal. Bill too great to do a deal with.
Gil
I thought the trade deadline ended July 31st, oh yeah that is only in MLF LOL
My bad I don't know Bill but his stock went up no doubt. Dan's a rock since I started guest watching from the sidelines long before signing up. And your word's gold in my house.
Made me laugh re the Boss. Surprised you don't have a permanent case of raccoon eyes! She's gotta be the real deal too. Congratulations! Good for her & let her know.
Buddy - :bigsmyl:
pamike and pastorstevehill and I did a similar transaction involving a Habu. I got the limbs, pa' got the riser and pastorsteve' got the mulah! ;)
Thanks Danny. I received the Kodiak Special today. Wow! It is in excellent shape.
Thanks
Gil
Gil -
Happy that you liked the Special. When you shoot it, you'll be really impressed.
Danny
Cool. Modern technology can really be fun sometimes! Happiness was had by all.

While all this was going on I was also in the process of buying a Horne longbow , should be here in a few days. A man's word is more important than gold. Thanks guys
My wife and I use to go all over the USA going to shoots she would set up and sell Native American jewelry while I shot many times she would let people take an item and mail her the payment, never was cheated. My point is 99% of the people we deal with in the the trad world is totally honest
