It wasn't in that good of shape either.
Mangled engine bells, busticated fins.

It would have been easy enough to fix up. But then, another one could be built about as easy. Paint wasn’t that great. But it was old and original, sometimes that’s worthy of gettIng an old kit …..

I like old kits, I don't like old builds, especially those built by inferior craftsmanship.
There are very few old built rockets I'd give even $25 for.

Don’t know if this will ultimately be a ‘deal’, but an interesting listing of a wide variety of Centuri and Estes items. The downer is its local pickup only (California). Still, interesting to click through the images.

Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125754598444

Not my listing nor do I know the seller.

I saw this posted and took a look. Nice items, but everything is open, used etc. Still not a bad lot for anyone…. Lots of good builds and parts there,,,I love Parts

I'd bid for sure if he would ship it all.

Wow! That’s a treasure trove! If I knew I had a CA job coming up soon I’d throw a hefty bid on it.

—-but I’d better let it go.
