I checked past posts about Micro Flite arrows/shafts but could not find what they might sell for today. Yesterday I got a couple dozen Number 8 and 12. I want to take them to a few shoots and perhaps sell them. But what is a fair price. They are new and never used.

What someone is willing to pay. I bought nine of them last year for $15.00 including shipping. Had another eight given to me from a hunting buddy...we do a lot of swapping back and forth though. They don't bring a lot on the big auction since folks are looking for carbon nowadays and many wouldn't even know what they are. Best you can do is set what you think is a fair price and go from there. You don't find them everyday and someone may be looking. The 12 are for pretty heavy setups..60+ pounds. The 8's for 50'ish.

What George said. I'd say $1.00 to $1.50 each.

What has been said already. #7 and 8's were the most popular sizes for hunting. You might do a little better because of that with the 8's.

I am somewhat surprised that some think new Micro Flites are only worth a buck or so. I've seen a few sell locally at shoots with with #7 and #8's going $50-75 per dozen.
Put them in the classifieds and you may be surprised at how well they sell.

You can buy them on the auction site all day for less then $3.00 each. Why would anybody pay $75.00 a dozen for them? Unless they were a hard to get spine.

I am surprised that you can sell them for $75.00 a dozen, but if you do, better do it quick and ask them if they want more. They are great arrows no doubt, but half the archers you talk to, and likely more than that would have no idea what a Microflite shaft was, let alone the value. I saw them sell at Denton Hill for less than half that. I got four of them (#8's) there, fletched with field points for $8.00. I have enough now to keep me for a good while.

Check with Steve Turray at northern mist longbows on those 12’s. I think he likes to shoot those.

I would gladly pay $40/doz or more if I could only find some that haven't been cut to 28" or shorter. I can only figure we were a nation of short-drawers 50 years ago.

mangonboat, Howard Hill was 6' 2" and shot arrows at about 28". I think there are a lot more folks who shoot 28" and under than otherwise. Those short draw guys got us our seasons, served our country and worked hard for a living. Pretty tall dudes in my eyes.

Ummm...I can't see where Mark inferred in his comment that being a "short drawer" was a bad thing...
It was an observation and not a criticism...

Think your right George, most people would not know what a micro-flite was. My Dad had them for sale in his archery shop and he hunted with them also. Kind of the carbon of there day in respect to they were either straight or broken

They are decent shafts no more no less. Depends on what material some one wants to shoot. Like George said what ever some one is willing to pay. I sure would not pay more than the price of new wood or aluminium shafts.>>>----> Ken

Micro Flites were a popular hunting shaft back in the mid 60's, kind of taking the place of wood. Then the aluminum arrow became the popular choice for bowhunters, that was before compounds.
When traditional came back in the late 70's wood was king again. now carbons are getting more popular.
I used Micro's and liked them. The only drawback was when you shot something hard like a firm stump it would drive the insert up into the shaft splitting it.

I bought a couple dozen from Dan Quillian back in the early 90s and enjoyed them. Still have a few laying around. Two I put rubber blunts on one end and tied them together 3" from the other end with stretch cord and use them for shooting crossticks when coyote hunting with a rifle.
