Default Sometimes a Deal is too good

I really don't need any more vintage rockets, but man this is too good to be true.

Nice score. I'm finishing up a classic Viper right now. If you decide to build this kit you'll enjoy it. It's a fun build.

I built one 3 years ago and flew it twice. I also have the Colonial Viper launch set. This is a great score, most of these open go for 70 to 100 bucks on Ebay.

David is always finding deals. Ask him about the Alps printer he got off of craigslist.

Sorry Al... My bad.

After looking through the model rocketry listings (which I have not done in some time now) I am amazed at the amount of rocketry *crap* that folks are trying to sell now. Tons of built (poorly) kits, used starter sets, random parts and junk. I wonder, is this due to the economy and folks are selling anything they can get their hands on? And is that the reason I see very common kits with huge starting bid prices on them?

The guy Scigs got his BSG stuff from has an old Estes Sky Raider up for what seems to be a good price and he says "mint in bag"... Then you look at the pictures and one of them has all of the parts laid out neatly NEXT to the bag .
