T/C 12ga. New Englander Kit

[tomme boy]

What would this be worth. Still in the box, never touched.

 

[Little Wattsy]

$29.95 BUT ill give you $35.00 cuz your new... :wink:

Im guessing near $300.0 to start. :hmm:

 

[Prairieofthedog]

tommeboy,please don't tell me they only want $100 for it LOL!I just bought one.Like Wattsy said $300 would be a starting point.They are about in demand as much as the Seneca,Cherokees.

 

[Stumpkiller]

I paid $179, as I remember, in 1988 for my New Englander kit. Another $100 for a rifle barrel.

Money well spent.

bein' new-in-the-box who knows what ya might get for it in the right places. people are payin' $300.00 & more just for the 12ga barrels on evil-bay.

My mother bought my 50 cal. kit for me for Christmas back in 85 when I was 14. I still have it. I have always wanted the shotgun one, but they have always been too much $ if you get my drift. :grin:

I don't know what I am going to do with it. I might turn it over if someone really wants it.

Just think of this, you will most likely never see another one like that for the rest for your life.
So, what is it worth to you? These have not been made for years and years.

as i stated above people are payin' ridiculously high prices for just the 12ga barrels on evil-bay. $300.00 & up just for a barrel when i only paid $200.00 for a complete gun, including shippin'. on the other side of the coin, there's a new englander in like new condition on gunbroker with 12ga & 54cal barrels with a $499.00 startin' bid. it has been re-listed several times with no takers. so, i guess ya pays yer nickel & ya takes yer chances.

 

[ebiggs1]

People see those silly prices but they don't know if the gun actually sells. Just because you see something listed for a silly price don't mean the seller got it.

 

[cynthialee]

you can look at prior sales on the 'bay to see what things have sold for in the past

People are paying out the nose for those 12G New Englander barrels. Looking at past sales I see the last 2 barrels sold for $375.00 and $306.89 and these were used barrels.

 

[Mad Professor]

I got a 12ga Toledo new , fits my TC Hawken, for way less than that. Extra full choke (about .705) chrome bore.

 

[bubba.50]

ebiggs-i tell people that all thew time. don't look at the askin' price, look at the ones that are actually sellin' or gettin' bids. i was just tryin' to make the point that people are payin' more for barrels than they can get a gun for.

 

[tomme boy]

I should have it next week.

 

[cynthialee]

I need to find one of those kits.
That is pretty cool.

 

[Loyalist Dave]

I'd say the 12 gauge is indeed the rare option. Mine is in .54, and I'd like a 12 gauge barrel for it for sure. Kinda like the T/C Cherokee in .45, when you normally see it in .32 or .36.

Good snag!!! :thumbsup:

 

[ebiggs1]

Very nice and it looks like a great piece of walnut.
:hatsoff:

I have no doubt you are correct and that just makes mine more valuable but what exactly does that tell us?
Maybe the bidders on eBay are not savvy buyers? I see nutty prices on a lot of items on eBay as I suppose you have too. Cameras are a good one, way out of line. But if they get the price....................... :idunno:

 

[cynthialee]

it tells us that that last two barrels sold for over 300 bucks each

Does it matter if they are savvy buyers? They are paying silly high prices for that barrel.
