Based on that price, the Y-Wing I have should go for at least $2000.

I wrote this to the poor person will illusion's of grandeur...

I think you need to move the decimal 2 places to left to be realistic.
You are really wasting you time with that price, less much expecting it.
I've been collecting since 1970. That particular rocket is good for 1, maybe 2 flights at best. It's a shelf queen. The engine burns the plastic engine retainer.
Not picking at your, but it's information for your benefit.
Good Luck

I seen this yesterday.
The pictures shows the front of several kit bags.
But not the back where you can see the parts.
The description doesn't say much, especially if the kits are built or not.
The rockets have been stored for 30 years.
Yea.....stuffed in a box 1/2 the length of rockets.
IMHO...Even if the kits were complete and undamaged, I would not pay that much.
It's just a standard tripod launch pad, nothing special there.
He obviously thinks that because it's 30 years old it has turned to a precious metal or something. I feel like sending him a message and offering him $25 just to see what he says.

That seller must be high on JENKEM.
Seller MUST have fecal-matter-in-the-cranium disease as well.

Looks as if every tube was deliberately destroyed.

Interesting how he took so much better care of the documentation than he did the models.....
