2nd opinion...

I've got someone looking at buying this used bow from a friend for about $100...he's never bow hunted before so this might be a good starter bow? Tell me what ya think...yay or nay?

I'd personally come out of pocket a little more and look for something in the $200-$250 range

I got this friend who has a 2nd cousin who told me his father-in-laws girlfriend has a son who said it sounds like a decent price for a start up bow for a 1st timer.

Cousin Randy says screw it, just do it.

I just sold my brother's PSE Baby G with pin sights, 8-10 arrows (3 with broadheads), 2 releases, and a case for $150. He just wanted to get rid of his setup, so I think guy at work got a good deal. I use a X-Bow, so I have no idea what is a good deal except bows seem to be more than gun now.

Bows dont hold value very well. While that bow would possibly work, for a first timer , I'd look for something a bit newer with more let off. Shouldnt be hard to find something a few years newer for not too much more money.

Agreed^^^^.
Also, a newer bow with a 7" brace height will be much more forgiving to the flaws and mistakes in form and consistency that are common in a beginning archer.

If the case comes with the bow I would buy it, turn around and sell the bow, ask $100 for it and take the first $75 offered, and buy a newer bow to put in the case.

Used bows are like used car's. The value drops like a rock as soon as bought.. then a couple years later, you can't give them away.
