Richard,

Is the plastic connector / coupler for the payload section for the Centuri Phoenix Bird in the bag? Is it white or black?

Thanks!

It is white as is the nose cone. The molded plastic fin unit is black.

Default Centuri 5308 UFO Invader Reserve Price $150

The Centuri 5308 UFO Invader Reserve Price is $150. I've added a note at the bottom of the listing with that information. The listing is here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=STRK:MESELX:IT

I put the reserve price on it to insure that it didn't leave my collection without a good fight. From the performance of my last set of auctions, I need not have worried.

The bottom line is until someone bids higher than $150, the UFO Invader will stay in my collection. Bid higher than $150 and it might be part of your collection.

Bravo and Thanks to all of the bidders in my auctions.

Good hunting,

Richard

The auction of the Centuri 5308 UFO Invader ends tomorrow Monday May 17, 2010, 18:49:46 PDT and the other auctions will be ending at approximately 5 minute intervals afterwards.

I have just added 3 more rockets along with a bunch of flying model airplane kits ending Sunday May 23, 2010:

Estes 1904 V-2
Estes 2142 STAR WARS R2D2 BOXED
Estes 2086 TOMCAT Swing-Wing Figher

The V-2 and Tomcat had been won in previous auctions, but those bidders did not pay for these items and never responded to my emails. The winner of the V-2 auction did not pay again in an Estes Saturn V auction a couple of weeks later. I have blocked these two bidders from future participation in my auctions.

Good Hunting and Thanks for your bids,

Richard
