Title: Need value on Ben Pearson take down
Post by: Mike Gerardi on November 06, 2013, 10:41:00 AM
This bow is left handed and is 58in and 50@28. Comes with original case and is in good shape. Some cracks in the finish. I do not know much about Ben Pearson bows and just looking for a ball park on value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Being a lefty brings the price down slightly.  I've seen the BP TD go for $150-250 depending on condition and weight.  That one looks pretty nice with those accessories too, but "cracks in finish" may not help.  My value is $225.

...Next....

I'v bought several righties for around $135 on e8ay, but that was a few yrs ago.  It is worth what someone will pay.  Best I can say.

There is a pretty nice one at a pawn shop in Tacoma that's been there all summer.  It's in the case with accessories...and priced at $265 firm.  Like I said, it's been hanging around the shop for 6 months.

When I was still working as a toolmaker I made a spare screw for a fellow club member. I should have made a few extras.....lol!
