What's the value? (Exocett 200)

Post by groundpounder »

Its' been a very long time since I've been on the forum. My fly fishing has taken over more than my hunting. I'm debating selling my Exocett 200 and I have no idea what it would be valued at and I know this would be the best place to ask. I do have a Mark Henegar custom laminated thumb hole stock on the xbow. I also have the STS dissipator bars and a groundpounder mount. Xbow is in very good shape.

I would post pictures but not sure how to do it in this format yet.

Top dollar I would say $300.00.

The Henegar stock alone is worth more than that. In my opinion, the Exocet is priceless, I own one and will never sell it.

To answer the question of a fair price, since it's a classic. I would say at least $300 for the stock, and $400 for the rest. Unfortunately, the reality is that most folks are not willing to pay fair market value for the Exo-series bows.

If you think someone will pay $700.00 for an old exocett I say good luck with that!

But in the end it's worth what someone is willing to pay... lol

Do you still have the original stock? You'll probably get the most total by selling the stock seperately and then selling the bow with the original stock on it.

Jeff, I agree with you, I'm not saying that anyone is willing to pay $700, but that's what I personally believe that it is worth. In my opinion, a fair price for a stock Exocet 200 with scope and quiver is approx. $500. I also know that used, Henegar stocks have sold for between $275 to $325 Canadian, since I sold one myself.

That being said, my advice would be to try to sell the custom stock separately.

No I don't. I sold it to a forum member shortly after purchasing the Henegar stock.

Thanks Comfy. Your values and mine are more in alignment. I think I remember paying $250 for the Henegar stock from another forum member way back when. Its a beautiful stock!

You may come out with more $$ if you break it up. Sell stock separate etc. I think stock $250-$300. A complete Exocet in nice shape $400-$425 . My dos centavos

Yep, and I know this from experience, it's worth a lot more to you than the market will fetch. I would ask $650. and negotiate if you have to.

Great to see you on here again, I still have one of your quiver mounts. :-) As for your bow, while I'm still a huge fan of the Exo series bows I do have to admit their value on the market has dropped considerably. Last time I was in The Bow Shop (about 2 years ago) all the old Exo bows in their used rack were all priced between $350 and $400. It's not uncommon to see them pop up for $300. We picked up a mint used Vixen about 3 years ago for $200. Hard to put a price on your bow with the Heneger stock. It's a very niche market for that kind of setup. Too bad you don't have the original stock, as others have mentioned selling the stock separately would probably be the best way to go.

Thanks but I sold the original stock to a forum member shortly after I bought the Henegar stock. So not an option.

Thanks TPM. Looked around here some and good to see so many familiar folks still posting.

I'm sure most of the longtime members here that wanted a Henegar stock have one. And honestly not a lot of newcomers like me here.

But I have seen posts in all of the Excalibur Facebook groups where guys have a picture of an Excal with a nice laminate stock and lots of guys comment wondering how to get one. That stock would definitely sell there... But the downside... you have to be on Facebook 🤮

Then just part out the rail and front end separately and you'd come out OK.

Obviously that is all 2nd to getting top dollar for it as-is.

There was a thread here showing how to post images using https://postimages.org/, but I can't find the thread now. Super easy to do.
