Hi This is my first post, so I hope it is in the right place. I have a set of KAP Evolution II limbs, 70"-32lbs/68"-34lbs, in very good condition. Another club member has approached me about buying them, but I have no idea what price I should ask for. What would be a fair second hand price? Thanks Vic _________________ . . .www.VictoriasPortraits.co.uk . . .

I am not sure. Secondhand limbs don't often sell for much, as they do bed in slightly. I would pick a figure somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the original asking price. _________________ My shoes are too tight, but it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.

I know if anyone is selling any equipment in our club if its more that 2yr old the coach would say if its in good order about 1/2 of the oraginal price. Also try them out before you buy them shoot a few doz arrows with them, if the seller is someone you know they should be ok with that, if its someone you don't know they should still let you try them after all they want to sell Hope you get what your looking for Vic _________________ Don't look down on anyone unless your helping them up.

Hi Vic I would say around half price depending on their condition If they look like new then a bit more but if they look well used then a bit less _________________ aka Cherrie Secretary Black Arrow Field Archery Club

rule of thumb when reguarding 2nd hand stuff is half the original price unless they are something a bit out of ordinary hope this of use .... stan _________________ Users are not allowed signatures untill they have made 5 posts - this is to prevent spam bots spamming the forums.
