Claude, I hope you'll let this post stand for a few days as it is about a TC Hawken stock assembly auction that "has already closed".
It is an information post only about an outstandingly beautiful early 1970's TC Hawken tiger stripe stock that just sold for $710 on auction.

It is admittedly the most attractive TC Hawken stock I've ever seen...what its worth of course is in the eye of the beholder (and his/her wallet :grin:) note that I did not bid :grin:

But there are a good set of photos in this listing and its beautiful for sure...

Back in the old days T/C had some nice stocks.A friend of mine had a Renegade with some outstanding patterns, but nothing like that one.I have an old 70's model Hawken with some purdy wood.
 
:shocked2:
That's a mighty nice stock. Worth the price? I don't think so. You could get much more for that $$ if you look in the right places.

eBay has been doing that to the bidder's names to help combat some of the second chance offer frauds that are out there.
 
I saw that stock on E-bang. listed on E bay thought wow that may go for 400 but wow, you could have a custom made for much less. I have decided to pick up every tc that comes my way reasonably in the non computer world.
 
Well, I suppose if I were going to pay $710 for a TC stock, that would be the stock. However, I don't have $10 to spend, much less $710.
 
I was wondering about the barrel a couple of days ago. He did say that he had the barrel and gave the serial number. But has not listed it for sell. The winner may get the barrel also. Or at least get it in a seperate arrangement. I bet may friends that the two that started out bidding the stock up wouldn't be the one to get it. Usually someone comes in, in the last few minutes and takes it. But to have three people come in and start bidding in the last five minutes is unbelievable.

No question it is a gorgeous piece of wood...and no question if money was no object the seller would be packing it up for me right now :grin:, but unfortunately, that kind of money "IS" an object for me so its being packed up for someone else...

Yeah, I noticed that the two guys who kept bidding back and forth during the duration of the auction were so focused on each other's bidding pattern that at the last minute they didn't jump high enough...the guy who won it must have laid in a huge sandbag bid right at the end because prior to that it was $475....and when the two original guys responded, his bid just auto-bid ahead of them until the auction ran out of time...must be nice to have that kind of money :)
 
Wow, thats a mighty big chunk a change. As to the barrel if you look at sellers other auctions he has it listed for sale as a seperate item.
I think it would be a chalange for a guy like me to try to hunt with that stock, Ide be so worried about scratching it up or getting a ding in it thats all I would be thinking of.
 
I agree...I'd use it at the range only and it would be the one that hung over the mantle of the fireplace :wink:
 
The two original bidders never place another bid. Those two bids besides the one that won were new bidders. Making three new bidders at the end of that auction. Never seen that before.

Unfortunately I see that all the time. The first 2 bidders are going to be there in case it goes cheap. The last bidder doesn't need to bid until the end. In an auction, it is not where you start, it is where you finish. I am not smart enough to know how to use the "sniper" feature that Ebay has in place. I really need to learn how to use it.
 
That stock is a very nice looking piece of Walnut but IMO there is no way I would spend even half of what it sold for for it.

I realize that a lot of people wouldn't know where to start with a Pecatonica River TC Hawken stock but for $220 + postage a #5 grade Curly Maple stock can be procured.
Not only would the PR stock have incredible looks, it would also provide over 1 1/2 inches of increased "drop" making the gun fit many shooters better than the factory stock.

You're right...that fairly new secret "initials" scheme ebay is using threw me off...when I did a quick glance at the list of bidders they all looked the same...guess there's a lot of folks out there with money...I would have liked to have had it but would have only liked it about $300 worth :grin:

Hopefully for the sellers sake the winning bidder isn't a no-pay. They might have been bidding without the means to pay. Unfortunately there are a lot of people on Ebay who are dead-beat buyers. My wife has had a few herself. It's a real pain to the seller.

Well, kinda makes me appreciate the late 70's GPR that I have, oh, it has a new barrel, but same old stock.

$710.00, naaaa.........it's worth more than that to me.
