Sellmybow

Sell My Bow launched in April 2022 as the first online platform dedicated entirely to pre-loved archery equipment. The site recognizes that archery is an inclusive sport with real equipment costs—and that archers understand the value of quality second-hand gear.

The marketplace connects individual archers and archery shops looking to buy or sell pre-owned equipment. Sell My Bow acts as a facilitator only—you control your pricing and delivery arrangements through secure internal messaging.

For Individual Sellers: - Free account registration (no joining fees) - Standard listings: £1 per item, active for 12 months or until sold - Featured listings: £3 to appear on homepage and top search results - Multi-listing option: 50p per additional identical item (up to 10 per listing) - Zero commission on sales—you keep 100% of proceeds

For Archery Shops: - Standard membership: £1 per listing for occasional stock - Annual membership: £250 for 12 months of unlimited listings - Can sell used, ex-demo, shop-soiled, or end-of-line equipment only - "Verified shop" label for authentic retailers

The platform covers every archery discipline and equipment category:

• •Bows: Compound, recurve, barebow, traditional, and longbows from brands like Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, Elite, Bear Archery, Bowtech, Win & Win, and more
• •Arrows: Complete arrows, shafts, and components from Easton, Carbon Express, and others
• •Accessories: Sights, stabilizers, rests, release aids, strings, cams, cases, stands

Active listings include premium equipment at every price point:

• •Secure messaging: Buyer and seller communications kept confidential
• •Dispute resolution: Community support for transactions that go wrong
• •Safety guidelines: Dedicated "Staying Safe" section for transaction security
• •Prohibited items: No crossbows, firearms, airguns, blades (except tools), or martial arts equipment
• •Condition standards: Items must be safe for use—no cracked limbs or broken arrows

Sell My Bow addresses the real cost of archery. Equipment upgrades and discipline changes can require significant investment. The marketplace lets archers:

• •Recoup money invested in equipment they've outgrown
• •Access affordable pre-owned gear instead of new retail prices
• •Reduce waste by giving equipment a second life
• •Support other archers at every skill level

"Archery has a supportive and sociable community with a thriving second-hand market. We know the value of the equipment we shoot with and appreciate its worth to others; imagine giving someone the chance to achieve new personal bests with the very same kit you did."

Sell My Bow has been covered by Archery GB (May 2022), Bow International Magazine (May and August 2022), and recognized as an innovative solution for the archery community.
