Default Rocket Collection built and unbuilt

I am 68 years old and no longer interested in flying rockets, mainly because no young kids to chase them and the club I belonged to lost our flying field. I have about 45 built and probably 25 unbuilt. Many assesories, engines, launcher and home made 3 rod launch stand and a desplay stand for about 30 rockets. Hate to trash everything I don't know if there is market to sell these items. Any sugestions?

First of all: very nice fleet!

In general, built rockets are a tough sell but you can try. Alternatives are (if you don't mind giving them away) to do so at a club launch, although it sounds like you might have a hard time getting to one.

The unbuilt rockets are absolutely sellable. You can check eBay for going prices for most kits. You never know if you have a few in there that are valuable, so definitely check.

Most likely places to sell them all would be here, TRF, or eBay.

Good luck!

Awesome birds. Try selling them via Ebay. Keep in mind to use words like Vintage and Astron when it applies. I'd bid on the Oso.

Just realized that that is a display piece. How cool is that?!
