I guess I need to get my believer fixed. A T/C Hawken flintlock with "Presentation" wood just sold for over $1100 on GB!
I guess the new owner really like T/C rifles.

It is not that only. Everything is rocketing up, it seems. Remember the future
for all guns is uncertain, including muzzleloaders. Some people value their
time highly. When they find what they want, they pay more to save time.
The T/C Hawkens are becoming very collectible. How many times do you
wish you would have stepped-up and gone ahead and bought something?
Because you haven't seen one since as nice? There is something to be said
about "biting the bullet" and paying more- but getting it now!. Knowing also,
that over history,vintage guns are solid investments that are climbing in value.

Kind of glad I bought one several years back for $225. I don’t think it had ever been shot which is a shame as it shoots quite well.
I have a safe queen Patriot… wonder what I could for that on gun broker

Seems like when I started looking at entry level rifles a couple years ago, there was an abundance of choices to be had at half the price of a basic Traditions now (if you can even find one). That's just crazy though, you can get one of the higher-end Pedersoli Hawkens for not much more than that, brand new!
I'm glad I happened upon my Hatfield a few weeks ago for the relatively reasonable price of $400. I guess the moral of the story is to stay away from Gun Broker... At least for now. Seems like everything sold there anymore goes for well over market value.

This is absolutely correct!!! Literally "Everything". From Cleaning gear to field gear...it does not matter, if it is firearms related it is INFLATED.

Last year I went hog wild and purchased two 50 cal TC Hawkins and a .54 cal TC Renegade for around 300 to 500 Cdn each. I’ve been watching canadian gunutz and albertaoutdoorsmen for other sales and price changes. One thing I have noticed though is the price of powder, triple7 or any brand of black has increased in price. A can of 777 FFg goes for 60.00 Cdn up here.
Crazy for sure. I just had a Renegade 12ga and 50 cal set sell for 200$ more than the asking price.
Guys bid it up!?
I'm seeing 777 retail here in Georgia for 35-38$

35.00 to 38.00? I only wish! Even with the exchange rate and the import taxes I find it too costly up here. However last summer I dabbled in making my own BP. It actually turned out rather well.

Inflation and Regulation will inflate prices for years to come.
Sold a Renegade in as new condition 2 months ago for $250. Which was twice what I paid for it at a yard sale.

Beautiful job on that Crazybear!!!
I did manage to pick up a local Renegade Hunter in very good condition a few weeks ago for $120. Cleaned the bore really well and sold it to my nephew to start his journey into muzzleloading.

I paid as little as $65 for a T/C years ago, purchased several in the $120-$135 range. Slowed down on purchasing them as the price broke the $250 range. Have not purchased a T/C in quite a while, guess I'm a little slow adjusting to the new higher prices.
A few years back I paid up, just a little, for a .54 caliber Anniversary Edition Hawken, wanted a new one back in 1995, but just couldn't bring myself to spend the money. I was married, went back to college, looking for a house and talking about starting a family. Didn't seem responsible to me to spend the money at the time. Found one not advertised as correctly on auction, went to check it out and it was like new, unfired and to my surprise an Anniversary. Purchased 3 muzzleloaders that day, in addition to the T/C, I purchased a Great Western Gunworks and a Hatfield Hawken.

There's no such thing as presentation grade wood for any T/C stock. The stocks were made at a mill in Perry, KS. Although they had a few stocks gorgeous beyond belief hanging on the walls, no effort was made to grade any other stocks. They all shipped as just ordinary stocks, beauties and plain Jane's all going out unsorted. If a seller wants to say a stock is presentation grade I guess they can, but the source never made that distinction.

Wow, Nice job!
Replacement parts are equally going up, tho' some of the offerings surely aren't being sold at the starting bids. Add on stupid high "shipping and handling" charges, too. Mostly my projects are only short a few screws, maybe a wedge, or escutcheon. Things that can be mailed in an envelope....arrived in an envelope ...$8.50 "Shipping".
Might be better off stripping down some projects, selling parts.
