Default Centuri stuff!!!

There is a lot of Centuri items on Ebay..Kits (T-Bird), Enerjets, Mini-Max. With 7 days left I can't imagine how high the bids will go.

Well, that was strange..I was watching the Enerjet bidding (No, I was not in) expecting a shootout at the end. Looks like everything sold early????

I contact the seller via eBay. He told me that eBay legal pulled all of the motor auctions. I was looking forward to bidding on some of them.

There are ways to get motor/engine auctions thru ebay, albeit against their rules.
I have won a few of these auctions.
Oftentimes if they are placed on the site with pics, stating 'unused working condition' can work, such as "unused Enerjet F67-8" without mentioning the words "rocket ENGINE or MOTOR" can get thru as long as some worthless POS does not "RAT out" the seller to the mamby-pambys.
You can get fireworks the same way on ebay as the sellers often list "Vintage firecracker LABEL" or "vintage salute/Cherry Bomb BOX"
You have to contact the seller via email to see what you will really get.
I have seen many "boxes" go for well over $100 based on the vintage "bonus" contents.


And NO I don't ask if the seller can legally ship them either.
