I don't know the seller but he has multiple items for sale on tradgang as well. He has something to do with bison gear. Hope all is well with him. Best wishes warden415

$250 for shipping!  Maybe you could just fly out and pick it up in person!

He must be going to rent a limo to deliver it to the winner.  :)

He's fine from what he told me. When I saw all of the items going up, I PMd him to see if he needed anything and if everything was OK. He told me he was doing a big clean-out and going to be a one bow guy and that he does this from time to time.

He plans to buy the maximum insurance. I don't know what that comes to. I believe the seller is:

Angelo Christiano
BisonGear-East

I just spoke with him a day or so ago.  Ang is a great guy and a sponser of this site (BISON GEAR).  His wife needs our prayers.  

That is a definite one of a kind bow BTW!!!

Angelo you already knows this, but we are praying for your family.

God Bless,

Brian

The max amount of insurance is $5,000 on a priority package and would cost $53.75 plus postage.

I've known Angelo for a good number of years...before he bought Bison Gear.

We've also shared a number of fires and camp meals at trad shoots. I've not found a finer person than Angelo. He's fair and honest. If you have concerns over any of his published fees, I'd email him directly to find out his reasoning.

Sorry to hear that he's got troubles at home with his wife's health.  Always another soul needing prayers in this world of ours.

Peace be with you Angelo, and God's love and mercy with yoru wife.

I agree completely with you Doc - Angelo is truly a fine and honest person.  If anyone has cause for questioning please do not do so in a public forum. Please contact him privately.  I'm sure he will put to rest your doubts...

Thoughts and prayers for Ang and his family.....

Oh my lord..Angelo?....he is a fine man. My prayers are out..
here is the breakdown on the shipping..
"The way shipping was figured as follows

64x12x12 PVC Tube weight 10 lbs postage $127.24
$5,000.00 Insurance $53.75
Return Receipt $1.85
Delivery Confirmation $0.50
Total of $183.34 depending on shipping address
The balance of $66.66 was for shipping materials and for the
second package which would contain the framed pictures."
Damn for that, I will drive the 4 hours to NJ.

I wish him all the luck.
