Neal mentioned the kits that were listed by our friend in Palm Beach. His starting prices were fairly close to what I would consider the kits to be worth, but yet only about 25% of them actually sold. Guess the market thinks they are worth less than I do.

Harold-

Yeah, I think I was the buyer on those that sold. I bid on 3-4 late issue Centuri kits from around the '81-'83 timeframe that I did not have as of yet. I think I was the only bidder on each one. But, I suspect the later releases from Centuri probably are not as popular as their earlier stuff. And I was basically rounding out those later years stuff myself so the collection would be 'more' complete.

BTW, I got the item from you safe and sound about a week ago or so. Thanks for the prompt shipment.
