Where else but our own Classifieds?

YORNOC · February 10, 2015, 06:51:00 PM

Just have to say what a damn pleasure it is having such a great classified section available to us.
Such great deals, great people who are willing to work together with no issues. No hidden fee's, it simply is what it is.
I've bought and sold hundreds of bows, quivers, arrows, etc elsewhere and nothing compares to our Tradgang group of people. Extra stuff thrown in, good conversations, just great stuff.
Thanks to the Mods, and thanks to all our people.
Fun stuff, I love it.

I keep trying to stay strong and not get access. As Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations." I know if I get on there I will loose all control

Just stinks to have to pay just to view the classifieds

I don't have the $ to buy a bow off there or anything, but sometimes I need a doz field points or some feathers or to trade broadheads etc.

Oh well, nice to know you aren't going to get scammed in there at least!

I've been considering paying the annual membership fee so I can access the classifieds. I don't think I'll get 30 dollars worth of savings on gear to offset that price but I know that in contributing that I'll be helping the site's bottom line which is worthwhile as we all know that these forums aren't cheap to run and maintain.

Maybe someone can help me make my decision.....ARE the classifieds active, busy...well used or is it a wasteland?

I continue to have great success selling (and, unfortunately, buying).

Having said that, I would subscribe just for the entertainment value of looking at what's out there. I've spent a lot of money on coffee, snacks and stuff that does me no good. I think it's a great value.

If you regularly buy traditional archery gear the classifieds are a great value ... if you buy one or two small items a years maybe not a good value.

There is a fair amount of activity in the bows, arrows, clothing, and quivers forums. Enough that it pays to check daily for good deals. I just bought a bow from a classifieds contact that probably retails for $1200 or more, my price ... $700 ... $30 is well worth supporting this great site without trying to calculate the value of the classifieds, but just speaking of the classifieds I get $30 of fun just window shopping let alone all the bargins I have enjoyed over the years..

If you check the classifieds about everyday like I do that $30 breaks down to 8.2 cents per day

ALL positive experiences - buying and selling - over the years!

Just *AWESOME* people here!

It is an oasis from the rest of the internet gauntlet!

Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

I just sent off my classified contribution fee. I am looking forward to taking a look at these classifieds. It's fun to look!

Just bought a mint 9.999/10 condition 2014 Toelke Chinook recurve for $425 shipped off the classifieds. That's an $800 bow. That's not the only bow or other gear I've bought in the past year, nor does it count what I've sold myself. The $30 was more than worth it just for the Chinook.

fnshtr · February 10, 2015, 09:14:00 PM

For me it is worth the price just to get to look at all the different bows. I don't do a lot of buying and selling on a "yearly" basis, but have bought and sold several over the years.

Hope to ALWAYS be a contributor!

DennyK · February 10, 2015, 09:15:00 PM

I think it's a good set up even though I have yet to send my 30 bucks in. Probably when I'm up and shooting again the motivation will be there, I'll be looking for a lighter bow to get me by. Reason I like it is most crooks are not gonna pay to steal.

Steve Jr · February 10, 2015, 09:21:00 PM

I think it is a great way to contribute to the best site there is! It's no more expensive than a magazine subscription. But here you get honest people by the handful, great camaraderie and new friends that you my otherwise never know. Which to me is worth every bit of $30 to me.

WESTBROOK · February 10, 2015, 09:30:00 PM

Its a good deal and lots more

archer66 · February 10, 2015, 09:52:00 PM

Exactly the kind of responses I was expecting.....I'm sold.

See ya there!!!!

KyStickbow · February 10, 2015, 09:57:00 PM

I buy and sell a few things here and there. But for the most part I just like gettin on there and seeing all the different stuff thats available. Supports the site as well.

ron w · February 10, 2015, 10:00:00 PM
