In a recent thread here, I posted a list of the unbuilt rocket kits I have hanging around here, and I realized I just have too many rocket kits.

So, I'm going to sell some.

Some.

Maybe a few, maybe a lot. I dunno.

Depends.

You get a chance to help me determine how many to sell, by bidding on them.

================================================== ==
HERE ARE THE RULES

Bidding is open through September 16, 2010.

Bid through email to rocketbids@roygreen.com .
Do NOT bid in this thread.

Ask questions in this thread. Do NOT ask questions by email, or by private message. All answers will be public. And please, be careful not to quote this entire message in yours, ok?

Bid as many times as you want.

You can bid on individual rockets, or you can bid on blocks that you define.

Some of the kits HAVE been opened. I'll try and update the list when I can, but you can always ask in this thread. Most of the boxed kits are NOT shrinkwrapped.

No bid is binding. I may or may not accept the highest bid. For instance, though I will entertain bids on the Centuri Little Joe II, I almost certainly will not sell it. There are probably a number of rockets like that. But don't let that stop you from making an offer/bid.

I may or may not report highest bids so far in this thread. I may end up not selling a thing!

If I accept your bid, I will contact you via email sometime after September 16 to agree on payment and shipping. If I don't, you won't hear from me. Preferred payment method will be Paypal. Any other method will incur a delay.

The binding moment will be the Paypal receipt.

Have fun, and maybe we can do some bidnez.

Hi Roy,

Would you consider shipping to Canada?

Remi Duchesne

I don't see why not.

Since you may not even sell anything, why not consider shipping to Canada, eh?

I like your style! And WOW, what a list!

I'll say it again, "WOW"!

Agreed -- this should be fun to participate, even just watch, if bids are posted. Re: Little Joe II, I understand the reasoning to probably decline to sell it. I'm interested to see what this kit can actually drum up in dollar potential. A Centuri Orion just went for over $300 on eBay, so there is apparently plenty of collectors willing to throw large sums of cash at rare kits.

You will need to post high bid. That way someone would be able to bid more if necessary if he falls behind on an item of interested.

Tell me about the condition of your LTV Scouts, Sandhawk, Pro Series Terrier-Sandhawk and Pro Series Patriot. (i.e. sealed or not, condition of balsa and tubes, etc)

On the same night as the Orion (last night, Sunday) a Little Joe II 1/45 DID sell and it went for about $407, as I recall. Not mine and I did not purchase (I have my appropriate share of those).

The Orion which sold last night, btw, was the 'boxed' version. Now, my vintage Orion (which I still fly) was purchased in '78 when Centuri discontinued the Orion (though I had lusted after one ever since it was intro'd in '71) and I paid....now get this.....$2.95 'discontinued' price! But anyway, the interesting thing about the 'discontinued' Orion I received from Centuri during that sale is that it was this same boxed version.

Does anyone know exactly when the boxed version was released? I know at one time several of the Centuri kits were released in boxed versions (the Long Tom, maybe the Space Shuttle, and possible a couple others), but I'm not sure exactly when they were released in boxed form. I don't believe that was their 'original issue' form.

Anyway....it was interesting to see a kit I paid $2.95 for '78 go for over $300 last night. If only I'd known as a 16 year old kid in '78 that $2.95 would eventually go for over $300, not sure how many I would have bought! (well, yes, actually I do: exactly ONE, 'cause that was about all the money I had at the time anyway....rocketry was always a 'stretch' thing budget-wise 'back in the day', as it was for many of you, too I assume. I remember that $15.95 price for a Centuri Saturn V seemed like a million dollars to me).

If anyone knows the background on the Centuri boxed kits, I'd be all ears.

Thanks,

Earl
