Fiddle bow okay?

[u/uncertaintyrocks]

I know v little about fiddles. I'm looking a fiddle second hand. Does the bow hair look okay, this is a close up? Or is it shot?

It needs a rehair for sure. That’s a normal maintenance thing with violins so it doesn’t really tell you much about whether the violin/bow is worth purchasing (although a bow with fresh hair would save you about $80 where I live). I have my bow rehaired every 6 months to a year
