At least its not getting shoved somewhere else. I don't think it would fit because my head would be in the way.

Been there. Done that. To much crap on Ebay. One that really got to me was "Ask questions before you bid" as if I knew all the right questions to ask, like, "did you switch the cams?". Another is "winning bidder pays all shipping cost" and then they try and charge you a handling fee. Shipping and handling are to different things, thus the two terms. It is done to misled people. Some of them try and charge some outragous price for S&H. Another thing that killed me was when the deal was done on my part the jerk seller would tell me to leane feedback first and then they would. I'm done you freakin idiot. I've taken all the chances and I'm supposed to leave it first. I started playing that game first and told them, at payment they should leave feedback for me now. There are good deals and good ebayers, but there are way to many bad ones. Never again for me.

I hope that you have good luck with the new bow. And Dairy King I would like to shove your Oneida in another orphus of your body.

I agree with you on the extra shipping and handling charges nodog ,I won a bid for a pair of camo pant's and shirt for 20.00U.s. and the shipping was almost the same price as they were .I'm sure when people don't get the price they want or need they tack on a little extra to make up for it .As for the bow's ,I agree as well ,but if you have some knowledge of bow's when you buy from ebay ,you need severel pic's from the seller and then you need an agreement that if the bow isn't in the condition the pic's show,or if you find another problem unseen,that it may be returned .If the seller is honest it won't be a problem ,but if there's something wrong then he'll balk at the arrangement . But yes bow's is a touchy chance that you may or may not take .I know a couple guy's who have bought bow's from ebay and have had good result's ,but I've also heard of some bad one's as well .I think it all boil's down to protecting yourself when purchasing an item such as a bow .

So in the end everyone is happy. I'm glad you ended up with the right bow for you. Did you shoot a black night at all before you bought it or just on reputation alone? I bought of ebay but had shot the bows I had in mind first and ended up saving almost 200$. It was well worth it for me but I knew exactly what I was going to buy.
