Red face Thinking of selling of some FSI and Estes stuff- NOW UP FOR SALE!

Greetings fellow BAR...

So, I have been thinking of selling of some of my collection of rocket stuff to help pay for one of these "to good to be true" deals.

I have a bunch of Estes, FSI and other kits stored away. I have started to sell of trains via ebay, but don't really like the idea of doing that with the rockets. So, my question is what is the best way to proceed? Should I put a list items up and let people bid on it or just put a price?

How do I come up with a price for some of these FSI kits? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would rather these things end up with people that really want them, that is why I am posting it here first.

Thanks,
Bob

I would suggest listing the items with a price, although letting people make offers would work too.

If you aren't sure about some of the kits, you could price some and let people make offers on others.

Default Seems like.....

the best way to proceed is put together a list and post it here first, then see what interest there is. I would like to see these go to someone that knows what it is, then stick it on ebay.

I will try to get some pricing together too. I will try to get it together on Sunday

Thanks,
Bob

Default OK- Here is a list of some stuff......

Here is a list of some of the stuff I was thinking of selling:


FSI #1014 Black Brant II in box, which I think has been open, but everything is there

FSI #1023 Nike-Tomahawk in box, which I think has been open, but everything is there

FSI #1031 Sandia Sandhawk in box, which I think has been open, but everything is there

FSI Voyager, NIB with orange bag top

FSI MRK-6 Orbit, NIB with orange bag top

FSI Sprint, NIB with green bag top

FSI MRK-9 Viking 1, NIB with blue bag top

FSI MRK-4, Voyager, NIB with blue bag top

FSI MRK-15, Echo 1 Two Stage, NIB with blue bag top

FSI MRK-3, Nova, NIB with orange bag top

FSI 1007 Sprint, NIB with white bag top

FSI MRK-5, OSO, NIB with orange bag top

Estes Orbital Transport, re-release, NIB $20each ( I have 3)

Estes 1236 Kit NO. K36, Saturn V, NIB and seem to even have some old D12-3's in the box!!!

I know most of you don't know me, but I have been around awhile. I have a ebay account under the name "2ahoser" and I am manager of the rocket store at the Sunriver Nature Center ( www.rocketryshop.org). I will accept offers until July 7th, then either I will accept your offers, or I will stick them up on ebay. I know most of the smaller FSI kits have been selling on ebay from $25- $50 and the big ones from $60- $90. The Saturn V has been all over the place, from $50- $250!!!

You can pay via paypal or cashier's check.

If someone wants to buy a large portion of the stuff listed above, I will accept offers for that too. I have a huge collection of rocketry stuff, but right now, this is what I am willing to part with. Good luck, let me know if you have any questions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Clear skies and calm winds,

Bob
