I would think this kit could fetch $1000 or more, obviously for a serious collector. Such as it is, I would not hesitate to ship it with the motors, et al.
I have bought a ton of motors over the years, and they are nearly always shipped thru USPS without any issues whatsoever. It's your choice, though, for sure. Look at eBay and see all the motors for sale at 'regular' shipping prices, and you'll see what I mean. Allen |

Thanks for the reply and info Allen! Shipping the motors seems simple enough but I’m just not sure about it. It’s good to get an idea of what people value it at so I can make a better decision on all of it. It seems like such a rare piece it’s been hard to gauge a few things. I’ve learned so much about rocket history in the past few weeks it’s incredible. Seems like a great community here and I appreciate the help so far.

I will definitely keep me eye out. Probably won’t pass on another rocket in my lifetime. Although as rare as this seems I’ll probably never find another one again. But it helps a lot I actually know what I am looking for now. With that being said I would like to sell this kit if anyone knows a serious collector.

Any collectors interested I was hoping for $600-$750 if you’d like to make an offer.

I really wish I could. That's been my Holy Grail all this time (came >< this close to winning a MMI Arcon at a NAR auction 12 years ago), but events of the past year have put the kibosh on my collecting. I've put the word out on the NAR and Rocketry Show Facebook groups.

The long box MMI Aerobee Hi kit was the first one that was introduced. The idea was to provide a person with everything they needed to launch a model rocket, including the launch pad and launch rod. Because everything was done by mail order at the time, MMI found out that these long kits created a big problem when they were delivered. Because they didn't fit in conventional mailboxes, the postman would simply fold the box is half and stuff them into the box. This resulted in MMI removing the launch rod and making a much shorter kit.
