For those that were not aware, there are several archery buy and sell groups on Facebook. I recently sold several item there and it has been really good. "Archery Buy and Sell Canada" has 6500 members and there is also the "Alberta Archery Only Buy, Sell, Trade and Discussion" which has 1700 members. I usually post my ads in both these group. Everything I have posted has sold in less than a day. The only down side is there is no trading rating so the 1 purchase I made was local and face to face.

^The only downside is THAT I WOULD HAVE TO JOIN FACEBOOK!!!!!!

Never have been there, never will. Have no reason to allow those from my past that I have left out of my life back in my life, or to let then know anything about me. Facebook is not worth it.

I am not a big fan of facebook either, but I thought it might be an option for folks here that are having a tough time selling their archery stuff.

I second this, archery buy and sell Canada has been a great tool. Knock on wood no bad transactions yet.

Most companies now use social media for advertising. Its alot cheaper and allows to keep contact with their customers better. Anyone not on Facebook and Instagram isnt keeping up.

Personally I use it to keep up with a small number of friends but mostly like what has mentioned before; following buy sell groups and companies.

Put it fake info and use it for your advantage.
