It came with the wrap already applied.

I sent the lister a message right after he put this out for auction a couple days ago telling him he needed to post some photos of the box contents (originally he had one photo of just the closed box). I mentioned to him that this kit routinely goes for $300 + on ebay.

He posted the additional photos in less than an hour.

I don't get a strong impression that he's a rocket guy or collector himself; probably picked up this item and the other stuff he has listed from an estate sale or similar. I don't think he realized at all how valuable the Little Joe was.

It would help too if he added 'Centuri' to his auction title and changed the '11' ('eleven') in the title to capital 'eyes' (II).

It did, though they left the backing paper in the kit with some additional details.

I wish ya'll wouldn't advertise to the masses or help sellers with auctions like that. The more obscure the listing and the fewer people that know about it, the better chance folks like me at the low end of the pay scale might snag a bargain.
