I've seen some heck of a deals on some alpha max 32's. just wanted to see if anyone had any experience w/ buying off of archery talk...it makes me nervous to throw that much money out there for something i cant touch and see in person or meet the person selling..

MCH Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Look for their feedback rating. In the classifieds section, it will be located underneath their username. Also, check their sign-up date and number of posts. I've bought several bows of AT and am in the process of buying another as I type. Have never been burned.

hutchies Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm an Ataholic..............I buy and sell there all the time. Check out the people you deal with and you won't have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Bought two bows and just about ALL of my accessories there. Never been burned, although it does happen there from time to time. Most of the time AT.com looks into it and gets the authorities involved. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 My advice is to one, check feedback, like everyone else has mentioned. My other advice is to pm the seller, and ask for his phone #. Any seller who is legit won't hesitate to speak to you, one on one. Close the deal over the phone. That way you will get your questions answered, and have a much better feel for who you are dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yep, I agree with the above mentioned advice, so much so that I am using it now. Gonna pull my first new bow purchase this week...Long story short, it ain't a Mission/Mathews or a Hoyt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never bought a bow off AT but I have bought guns on-line and this is the best advise I would give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I've bought a few small items off AT. Just like any online auction or purchase be aware of who you are buying from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
