Best place to find a used bow?

[justinbourn]

I've been scouring ebay and craigslist for used bows and it's been tough finding what I am looking for. Hoping to find a realmx 70lb, am I too soon or looking in the wrong places?

Archerytalk would be a good place to look. 10 posts and you can place a WTB ad on the classifieds here. Maybe Facebook marketplace.

Archerytalk is the best I've found. You should be able to find anything you want there.

Archerytalk, and there's at least one (probably multiple) Facebook groups to buy/sell bows per manufacturer...

Just make sure you use PayPal Goods & Services so you have buyer protection.

ArcheryTalk as mentioned. I've purchased a couple off of there and had great success. RMSGear has a big consignment deal if you're anywhere near Denver.

Archerytalk will be the easiest. Hit the minimum post count and you are good to go. Several RealmX 70lb'ers on there right now. And I just bought one last week.

Ditto on Archerytalk and using PayPal Goods & Services so you have buyer protection. Most bows listed will be cheaper than similar bows on E-bay. I recently picked up a PRIME CT3. It didn't come with the factory warrantee and replacement strings, but it was at a great price. Also check the prior reviews of the individual selling the bow.

Agreed on AT. I've always purchased my bows used and have found AT has the best used prices bar none.

Another vote for AT, purchased 3 on there. Just make sure to do your research on the seller.

Some Facebook pages have good deals. Just make sure to use PayPal goods and services

Can't go wrong with Archery Talk...have purchased four or five bows. Have done several trades on AT as well. Do your do diligence with the seller/individual, use PayPal, and you won't have any problems. Simply ask for their phone number, talk to them on the phone, and ask them to text you a couple pictures that aren't posted online and there shouldn't be any concern.

I also say archery talk and Facebook marketplace good place to look around!

Archerytalk or the archery buy/sell/trade group on facebook

Archery talk or central Texas bow hunter

Archerytalk will have what your looking for and will have the best prices as well.

I’ve been seeing quite a few RealmX’s like your looking for on Archerytalk in the $550 range.

A lot of last years models are listed on Ebay by dealers. If you can figure out which dealer and call them directly you can usually get 10% of the eBay price. Archerytalk can be ok sometimes but you need to do your homework and ask questions.

Facebook. Literally there is a group for every bow manufacter. If you want a bowtech search "Bowtech Brotherhood" and you will see many used bows and shops selling new bows cheap to get them off their shelves.

The Facebook group “Archery for Sale and Trade” has a lot of good deals. I usually run the person name through google and search for scam
Complaints to add peace of mind. PayPal goods and services with a linked credit card shipped to your confirmed address is pretty safe. Have a PSE Evolve set to arrive tomorrow.
