Fair price for a 5 year old – good condition – XI Magnum compound bow
Question:
A friend is offering to sell me his bow and we are trying to decide on fair price. Does anyone know the reasonable value of such a bow. It had no accessories and the string had not been changed since he bought it 4-5 years ago, but it does include a soft case – any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know the specs for this bow. I know it has a maximum pull of 70 pounds and is a 32" pull. I am curious as to the speed and reputation of these bows – quiet, noisy, etc. I have shot the bow, but am a beginner and have no idea if the bow is quiet or not, accurate or not, forgiving or not, etc. If anyone knows these bows and can clue me in – much obliged. Or if anyone knows where I can find this information that would be helpful too. Thanks in advance for any help on any of this.

For starters you can tell us the make of bow its specs and very few people have 32" draw. If you stand with your feet facing straight ahead turn your head to look over your left shoulder then raise the bow and pull it all the way back Do not move your head to the string. If you are of average height this bow should be too long for you(it its truly a 32" draw.

5 year old XI magnum fair price would be a trade with something worth about 75 dollars or pay out $50 cash. You have said that the bow has a 32" draw? I think this is to long of a draw for you. But who knows maybe you have EXTRA long hands.
