Should be a good one if it fits you. Looks to have a new string, or at least not the factory string.

Take it too a bow shop and have them tune it up and fit it for your draw length. Then shoot the tar out of it.

What he said. Looks good and has everything you need. It's all about fit, though. If it's too long/short for you in the draw length it'll suck. It may be easily fixed, though. For example, I scored a very nice Hoyt AlphaMax 32 on craigslist but I'm a tall dude and the seller wasn't. I bought it anyway and spent $10 at my local shop to get different cam modules. The draw length fits me perfectly now.

fwiw, I added a QAD HDX Ultrarest to my Hoyt ProDefiant and love it!.

Yeah it’s got a new string and was just tuned. Any idea what it’s worth?

Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it, hopefully I got a good deal.

How much did you pay for that baby - Could you tell us the specs on this.
I have this Bear Truth that I bought a while ago and it's still beating strong.

Take your time and shot the hell out of it.

No idea if you don’t give the model name.
I’m not sure if that’s a Pantera or maybe the Xenon model.

Martin makes a good bow but fit is everything. Used bows don’t hold great resale value with exception to a few top of the line models.
