I'm about 1/3rd of the wat through.

I haven't been able to add any more kits because of demands on my time.

I've been busy in Santa's workshop making Christmas ornaments. Also I'm making nose cones for some upcoming kits I'm making but those have to wait until after Tuesday to be completed.

I have more kits I am trying to add to my website.
These are NOT Estes kits so the problem is I have to go to Ebay to look for some idea of pricing.

OK, Ebay is freakin' NUTS!!!

Can anybody tell me if Dr. Zooch kits are actually worth the prices they sold for?

And Fliskits!!!??? A Deuce's Wild is worth $45.00???

A Fliskits Tres is worth $51.00?

Do these prices even sound right to you guys?

I don't want to get silly with prices but I also want to be fair to the person I am selling these for.
Any advice or ideas as to where to find fair prices would be appreciated

I haven't even started on the Squirrel Works kits.

Those prices are from people trying to take advantage of the vintage/collectible market. I would go with retail price of the Zooch/Fliskits kits just before they closed a few months ago. I'll see if I can find the home pages in the Wayback Machine.
BTW Squirrel Works homepage is active here:http://www.squirrel-works.com/

Zooch homepage from Oct. 2016:
https://web.archive.org/web/2016102...://drzooch.com/

Fliskits home page from Aug. 2018:
https://web.archive.org/web/2018080...//fliskits.com/

Click on "The Complete Fliskits" for an index of all the kits w/pricing.


BTW do you happen to have a Squirrel Works "Tardis" ( Police Call Box)?

EDIT: Corrected the link for Fliskits.

Thanks, the Squirrel Works kits aren't a problem...I just was putting them off.

In fact I just finished (except for decals) a Squirrel Works Astrid kit I am going to do a brief build thread on.

I'll just wait for the Wayback prices on the other items.

Thank you very much!

I have had and built 3 of the "Police Box" kits for my Daughter and grand daughter but I don't have any kits left...I built them all as Christmas presents.

OK, the four Dr. Zooch Saturns (that's all I had)have been posted as well as the Sunward kits I had (again only 4) plus one open Sunward kit in the "open kits" section.

I am asking retail plus $5.00 on the Zooch kits.
On the Sunward kits I had to make educated guesses on their worth. They all have the cockpit nose cones except the Gravity Rider, that has three (3) of the cockpit nose cones.

Let me know (politely, please) if the prices are too far out of line.

Compared to what they sell for on Ebay these are a bargain!

Next up are the Estes tiny kits...those will be tedious...I have a bunch of those!

I’d say those are fair prices for Dr. Zooch OOP kits - right now. When eRockets restarts production with the improved laser cut parts the market for original Zooch kits may shrink down to collectors so it’ll be interesting to see what happens to sales of the originals.
