The rifle retails over $800, and because it's used it is only worth $100 - $125??

They have been making those TC Hawkens for over 40 years... in the scheme of things they are crudely made, massed produced, don't really fit any historic period and are basically a dime a dozen...yours looks to have been well used...they just don't pull the dinero...
The first rifle I bought on omy own was a TC Hawken 45 caliber...SN under 10,000 and that was in 1972 for $110 with a whole bunch of stuff with it..bullet molds, tang sight, loading stuff....I still have it...and the condition is really nice..
On the Ruger for under $400 you can buy one NIB..value falls off quick with wear...and they had been making the Ruger Old Army for 40 years as well. It to is not a historic copy but a modern hybrid.. and as such the renactors don't like em...
