I’m thinking about selling my Mathews vxr 31.5! I’m curious as to what I could even get out of it? Is it even worth trying to sell it used? Brand new was 1099$ any information would be very helpful I would be selling it bare!

First off, it sounds as if you're a new member, so WELCOME!!! Yes,there is a classified section on here to buy,sell & trade bows,bow accessories, binoculars, rangefinders,etc,etc....along with it are some other great sections where a person can get some really good advice...(and some bad too,so watch out) anyways, bows are normally shipped in bow boxes you can get from your local archery or sporting goods store that bows were received from the factory in. The way alot of folks buy & sell go thru PayPal using the GOODS & SERVICES OPTION. I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF USING THIS OPTION AND NOT THE FRIENDS & FAMILY OPTION. The goods & services option charges the seller 3% of the purchase price & .50/transaction ,but both parties are protected should something go sideways-such as you mentioned-getting ripped off by someone sending something other than the item described or the item, but in a worse condition than described, or not sending anything at all. The friends & family options doesn't charge a fee but, if anything is different other than what was supposed to be shipped or it was different than described, etc....well...you're up a creek without a paddle OR boat! Most folks on here are trustworthy but it's better to heir on the side of caution. Far as price goes, like someone mentioned to you earlier some will try to low ball you but stick to what YOU think is fair and you will be ok. Hopes this helps,and good luck with your sell!

While on one hand you may get relatively more because it's a popular Mathews model at the moment, also remember many people aren't going to pay $100-$150 off of new price for a bow with no warranty and for which they may end up needing to buy additional mods to fit them... Just pointing out the other side of reality.

I haven’t registered it with Mathews yet could they use the warranty?

I can tell you right now I wouldn't buy from this guy.

Buys a brand new bow a few weeks ago, pays MSRP. That's a red flag right there.

Says the bow isn't registered, red flag. Mathews dealers don't let a bow leave the shop without the bow registered.

I’ll just add that I purchased a new Vertix couple weeks ago and it was up to me to register warranty as well. I’ll never buy a Hoyt or Mathews on here and intend to register or use the warranty. Not how it works nor was it intended to. God I hope they get the feedback fixed. It’s an absolute sh*t show in the classifieds.
