I want to get my daughter a Genesis because that's what she's used to using with the youth program at my gun and archery club. And I can crank up the draw weight to 20 lbs as the club keeps them all at 10 to fit any kid at any time.

Is there a better place or website for archery sales or auctions than Craigslist and eBay? The deals either get snapped up instantly,  or get bidded up to full price/new.

I've searched the EE here,  gunbroker's archery section too. And I've found bupkis. I don't mind paying $150, but for that price it probably should be a package deal with a case, some arrows, maybe a sight and upgraded biscuit/rest thrown in.

You could call some local archery shops and see if they have any or know of any for sale.

Are you still looking for a used girls Mini Genesis bow?  If so, does your daughter shoot right- or left-handed?  I am asking because I have a used left- handed girls Mini Genesis that I will give you for free.  The riser is pink with white limbs.  It comes with a dozen Genesis arrows, a soft-side bow case, and a matching arm guard.  PM me if you are interested.

Also, the whisker biscuit will not work with the Mini Genesis as the arrow rest itself will bottom out before you can adjust it in enough to set center shot.  The only rest that works is the spring arm rest that comes with the bow.

Thanks so much,  but my daughter is a righty, and I did find a good deal on a RH Matthews bow through a WTB on the EE.

Glad to hear that your daughter is all set.  Good luck, she will be out shooting you in no time.
