Some of them are not worth $14.
It will never sell as a group anywhere near that price other than to an idiot with way too much $$$.
The seller might get around 10k if it is broke up into individual kits.

To quote Boomer from the original BSG, that guy must be smoking "plant vapor".

He's from Acme, MI. I've been ALL OVER my home state of Michigan and I'd never heard of Acme. I had to look it up.

I think Wile E. Coyote has ties there.

Hey, one of my large 4x24mm Nike Hercules kits is in there!

Still not worth more than $24,000 even with free shipping.

I believe that's Andy Andres, for any of you who might know him.

I have been to Acme, Mi. several times.
You pass right through it to get to Traverse City from the South.
If you have been to Traverse City, Mi. there is about a 95% chance you have been to Acme...one runs into the other.
Wile E. Coyote has some operations there, but it has been reduced somewhat lately.

Years ago there was a rocketry SCAMMER out of Acme, Mi, no joke.
People would make their payments and never get their stuff.

In reply to post #1023 of this thread:

LTVscout, I noticed this auction this morning and its close to me in Burbank, but I have no idea who it is. I would buy portions of it, but not the whole thing. The kits look very pristine. If the person is on this forum, please contact me by private message.

Fifty people watching this lot at the moment.

Presumably for Sandman's kit.
