well needs more information here. such as draw weight (___#@28"),
details of the bow photo will help (scratchs,holes, twisted limbs, and lot more will determine the bows value.

Mike,

I may be interested in buying that bow if you can find some more information about it.

Usually on the side of the riser there is some writing, that will give the serial number, the draw weight, and the length of the string. Sometimes that can be covered up by some paint in an attempt to camo the bow.

Contact me by e-mail and I would like to talk with you about it if it is 55 lbs or heavier.

Thanks,

how about a photo of it so we can see what it looks like.
Bear bow's are going for a good price if they are fair condition. also need to get poundage of it this will help others establish value.
