Scored an Astron Scrambler on eBay
A couple weeks ago I was able to pick up a near-mint sealed K-37/1237 Astron Scrambler on eBay for what I thought was the measley sum of $51.00+shipping.
That's only like $21 over what the recently produced Semroc retro-repro Scramblers went for. This is in the blue-hang-tag skill level 3 packaging. I found this to actually be a great bargain as all the others have went well over $100. I was surprised to get it for what I paid. The same seller had a mint Estes Nike Ajax for sale also, but it went for over the $100 I was willing to pay. I think that one went for about $123.

That's a killer deal. Love to hear about one that occasionally slips through. I was the high bidder several times in the past month on vintage rocketry auctions, but lost in the closing minutes. I'll go to a certain point, and if that's not good enough, so be it. On the other hand, I was looking over my Semroc Scrambler this past weekend. All that's left for me to do is glue in the engine mount and paint it.

I was in up to about $50 on the bagged kit that just sold. Went for over $100.

I'd gladly pay $100 for another or an original Astron Cobra in skill-level packaging.
Would pay $200 for a K-21 Gemini Titan or K-29 Saturn 1B if anyone has one they want to part with.
