Man that is ugly.
Someone needs to email him and ask him WHY?

Maybe... but isn't the forearm bolt in front of that cut off area?
Is there only one bolt holding the stock onto the rail?

Looks to me like the buttstock has been cut off, too?
Guess it's a youth model!

Just a bit high on shipping cost, too. Priority mail for a package that size should only be around $20.
I've found that jumping the starting bid price by enough to cover postage and offering free shipping is a better selling option. The last item I sold was a $120. (new price) takedown bow. I started the bidding price at $49.95 hoping to get at leat $60. for it. It sold for $110. and I still made close to $100. after I paid postage. Or I guess I should say I recovered close to 80% of the money I invested in a bow I found I couldn't shoot.

I live about 30 miles from Newport where this bow is but I wouldn't buy it for $50.00. This guy seems to have an obsession with a power saw
God Bless !!!!!!!!!

I think he swung it at a tree in frustration and broke the stock and then cut the damaged parts off. If the main frame isn't damaged the cost with a replacement stock would end up being $180 plus shipping. Not a bad price but I wouldn't want it.
