I have to admit that I don't check the auction site.

For me the issue is the amount of money that most of these OOP kits are legitimately worth to those who collect kits. Personally, I'm not a collector. I build and fly my birds so it's more cost-effective for me to put together OOP ships from plans and parts.

Were I flush with moolah, I'd probably not care overly much about spending the money but building a collectible kit and thereby taking it out of the pool of available kits would most likely give me a twinge of guilt.

I mostly buy retro/repo stuff or kitbash these days when I building the old designs.

I'm the guilty party Gordy is referring to. I honestly never noticed the "Auctions" header until he mentioned it when answering a question I had. Now that I know about it, I'm looking at it more. Thanks for the heads up...

It's kind of a moot point now...all but one of my auctions are over.

But I will have more!

Honestly I would rather sell on the YORF auction just so I know these kits get a better home and will possibly even get built!

Better than a doomed life squirreled away in a plastic bin.

I have anew outlook on Mondays -- they are great because I get thru the day at work knowing I'm going home to watch "24" ...

I’ve taken advantage of the auctions on YORF more than once. If you’ve got the extra cash to spend and aren't checking the YORF auctions from time to time you are missing out.

I just got a great deal from Sandman on a Deep Space Transport, which I am going to build by the way. It's not going to the collectors vault.

Oh and something interesting:
The YORF auction closed Sunday Feb 1. Sandman contacted me and told me he would ship my item out Monday Feb 2.

I also put in an order with Semroc Sunday Feb 1. Semroc contacted me to tell me the order would ship Monday Feb 2.

Here's the funny part. It's Wednesday Feb 4 and the postman just came to the front door with two packages of identical size, one from Semroc and one from Roachwerks (Sandman)

So Sandman shipped at the speed of Semroc! Now that's saying something!!!

You are right about 24, it just keeps getting better and better.

I look forward to the weekends getting out launching rockets with my 4-h kids makes up for a bad day/week at work.

As I say Hey Ben! You know what we get to do this weekend? Launch some rockets.

Well I had my suspicions before, but now I KNOW that's a fact!

Couple of auctions ending tomorrow. Check them out. You might want to bid on one or both. Thanks.
