Fruitwood Bear T/D Auction?

I'm not much on the other Auction site but last night there was a Bear T/D Fruitwood C Riser with limbs on there for bid. It looked in great shape and the seller had pasted alot of accurate info about the bow from a Bear source. he went on to describe every scratch and flaw he could tell on limbs and riser except............the sight window had been tapped 6 times ( 3 front and back) for a sight. Riser had some screws still visible in it. I asked him about it and he said he took sight off and selling on another auction. The Bow i think went for almost $700. Question is was this bow made and tapped for sights? i didn't think so. I thought it should have been very important he should have noted that in his description and his 8 pictures showed only the shadow of 1 screw...... :rolleyes:

joebuck, YES the C risers were indeed tapped from the factory for sights. They also came with screws (plugs) for the holes.
I went back and looked at the pics. That was in pretty nice condition. Those holes ARE factory. Series 1 still with the Bears. Nice C.

Although I researched some past sales, I didn't do an average of the past few that were sold, but it is right in the wheelhouse. If it was above average, it wasn't much.
Low serial # C wood in the kinda shape that one was in. Doesn't surprise me what it brought.
One thing is for sure, the wood T/D's are definitely out of my league right now. I'll stick to my Mag's for now.

Not a question I would even have a clue about answering. You might want to bump some of these questions over to the gang on the History/Collecting forum. You WILL get some answers there.

The quiver was made by Bear, and it was vinyl not leather. It's Futurewood (impregnated maple). Some folks will ask outrageous prices hoping someone is dumb enough, and has enough money, to make the purchase. That quiver isn't worth over $75.00.
The C riser was made for target shooting so it was drilled and tapped for many accessories.
