Matthews Outback---good deal or not

[HDLABS]

Found a Matthews Outback, about 5 years old. It has quiver, sight, whisker biscuit, etc. ready to hunt with.....similar to what is on the item listed on ebay below. Seller is asking $600. Is it worth it? It looks hardly used. Thanks for your thoughts.

600.00 is too much to pay for ANY used bow....imo.

First thing the one you have listed below in the link is not a outback but a sq2..............and I wouldnt pay over 400 for a outback.......they dont make them anymore thats why they hold there value well and it's a mathews that says it all......either way if you can get the fella down to 400 for it completly rigged out ot 300 bare bow you wouldnt be doing bad considering the bow is in immaculate shape.....

You could buy a Switchbakc XT for $500

I was thinking of offering $500 since its ready to go. The sights is $100 and its brand new, never used---just put it on. If I get bare bow, it would still cost about $250 to get it ready to hunt. You think $450 is fair?

problem is...does barely used mean only dry fired one time??? tough call man...good luck with it though! Imo, if you are buying a "used" bow you need to check it out first and look for any kind of limb issues etc that could ruin your day in a hurry...

The outback is a good bow but the valley is terrible............The switchback's are the way to go...........but lke I said it is still a great bow...........buddy of mine bought 1 last year off ebay for $400

I'm in no hurry. Thanks for the opinions. I may look into a swithback. I thought the price was a bit high for a 5 year old bow. Had a deal on a new hoyt vetrix for 400 but by the time i gear it up i could have a matthews used probably....thanks again.
