Bow Values
I have an original Onidea Screaming Eagle. Bought new in 87 I sent it off in 96 to the factory and completly redone. Never shot since the refirb. I also have an Onidea Aero Force. Both are set up sights quivers and rests. I killed an ass pile of deer with both and switched to Hoyt becuase I heard the factory was in trouble. They are collecting dust and I need money for a few projects. 50-70 pound draws and 30-31 inch. What would be a good price to ask, I was gonna put them on e-bay

Used bows, unfortunately don't get a good resale price. Even a bow that is a year old will only fetch 50% of new "IF" you find the right buyer. I'd start then out at $50-$75 and get rid of them and be done with it.

While Onidea bows are decent, they never really dominated market share like Hoyt, PSE and Mathews do.

That has been my experience also. Every time I tried to trade my old bow in for a new one, the dealer might offer me 25 bucks, if he even wanted to bother with it. I always ended up just giving the bows to begining archers. They are pretty happy to get a set-up bow for free, and you start them out right.

Your best bet would be to try to sell them on Oneida's website. They have a used bow page.

Hornet,
Turn that Oneida into a carp shooting bow, and start bowfishing.Alot of pro fish shooters like using the Oneida just for carping.

I sell on eBay every day. Do a search for Oneida bows then look and see if you can find one similar to yours in the "Completed Items"

You can scan them by the ones that have bids-

Look at the auction and see if there was a winner and how much he paid.

That's how we establish a market value for an item we're selling on eBay.
