There a few things we need to know about any archery equipment you are selling.  Without these, people will probably not bid on your item(s).  Most people are not looking for a bow to hang on their wall, but one to add to their collection to take to the target range, hunting or to teach someone.

- You absolutely must put the draw weight and length of the bow in the ad.  If you are not familiar with archery equipment, this is noted as #35/@28" which means 35 lb draw at a 28" draw length.  Below this is typically the length of the bow (short bows are around 52", longer bows can be up to 70+").

- Pictures will help in selling your equipment.  Close up shots of the grip, the belly, the tips (both), any cracks, a wide shot of the bow and any other important features.  The wide shot of the bow is the least important, you can only see the sillouette of a bow this way, close ups are better.  If you have a picture of the bow in use, that is better than a close up.

- Bows without holes drilled in them, without stabilizers, sights or built in quivers will sell best.  There is a growing demand for bare-bow traditional equipment.  Take down bows are much sought after, especially if there are extra limbs.  Let prospective buyers know if the bow comes with a string!

- The more you know about the bow, the better.  When was the last time it was used on a regular basis?  Has it been in storage?  Are there twists or cracks?  These questions can effect a buyer looking to use the bow.  If a bow has been in storage a very long time, it probably can not be used without having a professional look at it and condition it.

- Put the most important information in the item description (Wing Presentation II Take Down Recurve Bow - #37/@28"), this will get more people to look at your item and make them more likely to bid.

Happy selling!
