Dart Boards

From Recreation To Sport: Dartboards of All Types

Any sports bar worth its weight will have at least one dartboard available for patrons, though they aren't limited to this arena anymore. Whether you’re an amateur enthusiast looking to equip your home with the perfect used dartboards for sale or you’re a professional preparing for a tournament, dartboards can be found in all sorts of settings owned by all sorts of people. From the classic dartboard cabinet to the standalone bristle board, there are many affordable dartboards for sale and many different features available.

There are several types of new and preowned dartboards that are available on eBay. Below are a few of the most common.

• Bristle dartboard - These are the boards most commonly found in homes and bars, and they are usually used in professional tournaments. They are popular in part due to the material used to build them. The material does not retain holes from the darts and is self-healing once a dart is pulled out.
• Electronic dartboards - Electronic dartboards, also known as soft tip dartboards, come with a slew of useful features, from automatic scoring to being able to connect to the internet and play against other players remotely.
• Magnetic dartboards - Popular for children or highly trafficked areas, these boards avoid the sharp points and risk of damage that is a factor in traditional boards.
• Wooden dartboards - Often made out of elm wood, these are the predecessors of the bristle dartboard. They are still popular among traditionalists.
• Cork Boards - A lower priced, more disposable option for casual players, they are a good entry point into the market.

While there are many reliable brands that make dartboards, there are some that rise above the others in quality, originality, or features.

• Viper - This American brand manufactures both electronic and bristle and has been in the dartboard market for over 30 years.
• Winmao - Winmao has Blade 5 technology that maximizes surface area of the board by reducing the size of the metal dividers. By one name or another, this company has been producing dartboards for almost 75 years.
• Arachnid - This brand is a leader in the electronic dartboard market and specializes in soft tip and even full arcade dartboards.
• Sportcraft - For solid, traditional bristle boards, often in classic wooden cabinets, this is the brand to look at.

While newer dartboards have some appealing features, including electronic scoring, vintage or used dartboards for sale can be a great deal.

• New - Those looking to buy an electronic dartboard with all the latest features may prefer to purchase a new dartboard.
• Preowned - Bristle and classic wooden dartboards can hold their value for decades, especially when well maintained. When searching for a dartboard on eBay, there are many used dartboards in great condition.
• Vintage - Collectors will appreciate the different styles, not to mention the nostalgia, that buying vintage dartboards for sale offers.
