Saw this Rockola high wood stock set go the other day on flea bay for $1675 (free ship though!). https://www.ebay.com/itm/133447373225
Within the last 6 months I saw a nicer one go for between 7-800 and I thought that was getting crazy. At this rate maybe I can retire on my stockpile
Anyone else find this ridiculous or am I just being cheap?

Quality stocks have been climbing steadily over the last 20 years. Lately it seems to be accelerating. Those prices are abnormally high, but people will pay rediculous amounts for something the really want. I don't understand how these guys can put that high a value on it, but I guess they have more dollars than sense. (not sorry about the pun.)

For that kinda money I sure hope its a real stamp. I really do.
I was told these are the most Humped stamp there is.

Anyone know how to turn this upright ?
Hard looking at it this way, to tough to see how 'Things Line Up'



Picture Below is NOT From Auction:

I opened it in a crappy old timey PAINT and rotated 90 degrees left. I couldn't accept that the RMC auction was legitimate.

I've always said Wood is the Key.
I could collect just wood work and be happy.
You got a nice one, Congrats

PS I missed Waynes post on it.
!! Wait I did see his post. I was trying to remember the IP he spoke of and finally found the link/story on it, then linked it.
Sorry I didn't comment on your stock there and then. I just stumbled on it (Above) tonight after looking for Feedback on the Pricey RMC sale.

All good Charlie; I kept an eye on the RMC as well but didn't expect it to go that high. 

Thought I was a wood buying record holder for a minute. LOL

I have 2 shooters and I thought I was crazy for awhile because I bought after market stocks to use.  I wrapped up and stored the original stocks so they wouldn't get dinged up. 

I'm probably am crazy but the wood is safe. No the stocks aren't for sale.
