Title: Value of a Kodiak Magnum
Post by: txcookie on July 16, 2014, 01:22:00 AM
I have a Kodiak Magnum from 97-98 55# 28dl that I am considering selling. Shoulder has had it and I just cant shoot that much wt any more. Its a solid 9 out of ten. What should I be asking for it?

Used bows can be a tough sell these days so what you ask is irrelevant...the only thing that counts is what someone will pay...I think Big Jim still has some new ones for sale for 350 bucks so you might start yours out at 250 and see if you get any offers

The Grayling bows in the same condition of yours go from $150-225ish. Some exceptional condition models even more. When Gainsville is on the bow, some won't want it. Some don't care. Some prefer a newer bow.

Big Jim sells his brand new factory painted ones for $379.

I bought a '68 Grayling made KMag, 45# in minty condition a couple of years ago from a Gang member for $150.  Super value, it's a great bow.

There...as we all knew...what to price it at is clear as mud...too many variables

FWIW, I just sold my 1971 KMag for $150. I had it listed on the big auction site and suspect it would have gone for a bit more, but a guy just getting started in Trad came over to the house and picked it up. I killed the auction, but suspect it would have brought $175 - $200 had the auction run to completion.

:thumbsup:  And it was one of the exceptional ones, too.

Thanks Bud. It was nice, but the 45# KMag I got to replace it is nearly as nice and this guy was just getting started in Trad. He was a compound shooter from ND visiting in MI and saw the ad. I'm pretty sure it would have brought more, but he came over, shot it a bit and I think we have a new convert.

There's a lot of them out there. Tough to tell, but I think you could expect somewhere in the 160-200 range. Good luck.

better yet is to trade it in for one you can use.

I've been trying to sell a beautiful refinished 1962, 45# for $200  Not even any tire kickers.  It's a down market right now, I think.
