Recent Cox Rocket Kit Prices
I never owned a Cox rocket back in the day, but have collected a few of them in more recent years to have a more 'well rounded' kit collection.
About three weeks ago, an eBay seller listed a series of still shrinkwrapped Cox kits, just about all of them that Cox made, with the exception of the Honest John and the Saturn 1b.
What I thought would be of interest are the prices they brought after the final bids were in. The upper-most price, for the Saturn V, was the highest price I personally have ever seen for a model rocket on eBay.
They were as follows:
Saturn V-- $ 710
Nike Zeus-- $ 500
Little Joe II-- $ 349
Space Shuttle
America-- $ 204
X-15-- $ 112
I had to admit, they were all pristine looking and the seller mentioned they were from an estate. No other rocket items were listed by the seller, best I can recall.
I thought they'd go at decent prices, but I was a bit surprised at the final tally. The Nike Zeus was the first still in-the-box sample of this kit I've on ebay.
