Default Lots-O-Kits For Sale

Hey all,I apologize in advance if this is too long of a read,Ill try to keep it brief,lol.

Some of you may remember me from,well,6-7 years ago? I havnt been around becouse a couple of medical issues tried to kick my butt,but they failed. I have had to adjust my lifestyle a bit. My doctor told me that I had to find a hobby that involved physical activity. So a couple of years ago I took up bowling and had to give up building rockets. There is only enough time and money for one expensive and time consuming hobby,so rocketry lost. Ill still keep a couple of my kits around to play around with but the other hundred and some odd kits have to go.

I forgot how many kits and supplies that I have,they are packed in 8 large plastic bins. Tonite Im going to start selling them off. I really didnt consider myself a collector,more of an accumulator. I actually had planned on building all of these kits,no really,I did. Anyway,Id like to give all of you here on YORF a chance to grab some kits before I throw them on evilbay. Im not trying to make a killing off of you all,you get the YORF discount,lol. Some items Ill throw out a price for but most items Ill take reasonable offers on. Ill also be throwing in free stuff with orders. I have a ton of building and launch supplies.

Itll take a few days to list everything so check back every so often. I have kits from Estes,Custom,quest ,Launch Pad,Serious Rocketry, Semroc and my favorite PD Rocketry. I know there are others also but I cant think of em. There are a ton of oop kits and some newer ones. My ebay ID is the same as my YORF ID arlblaster. I have 1527 feedback with no negatives. I will be listing some stuff on ebay right now but I do have multiples of lots of stuff. Everything that I list here will only be listed here,if the same thing is listed on ebay its becouse I have 2 or more of them. Ill give you all a couple of weeks to pick out what you want,then whatever is left will go to evilbay. I will also trade for high end bowling equipment especially stuff from Lane #1.

Thanks for reading!! Ill post the first lot of stuff in an hour or so.

Ken

Will be interested in the PD Rocketry stuff once you list it if they are some of their more interesting stuff.
I still have several unbuilt PDR kits including the Gemini Titan.

Wow, you have a lot of interesting kits. Are you looking to sell them as lots or individually?

Are you planning to offer them here first before they go on eBay? That's the impression I got from your first post, but then the second refers to starting auctions tonight.

Hello again,thanks for looking in... Ill dig out my PD Rocketry stuff tonite,if I remember correctly I still have about 6 or 7 of em. Those were great kits.

Anything that I list here will only be listed here. Ill give you all a couple of weeks to pick over what I have,whatever is left will go to ebay. I have multiples of a bunch of stuff. Id much rather sell here to get these kits to you all for reasonable prices. The stuff that I list on ebay now will not be listed here....

Ill sell individually or in lots. Lots are preferred obviously,you get better deals and I have less to pack and ship.

I had planned on doing some practice bowling today but I think that Ill just keep on listing. This is very time consuming...

Be back in a bit

Ken

Ken, will you use the auction format for kits you list here, or fixed price? I hope you go with auction..........with fixed price it's the first guy to see your post that gets the kits. Since I don't skulk around here all day, an auction would guarantee that I would get to participate. It would get you the best price too.

Hey mojo!! I tried to use the auction section here but keep getting the internal server error. I assumed it wasnt working so Im going this route. If the auction section starts working,sure Ill list some interesting stuff there to get everyones blood pumping,lol.

BTW The Sheri's Saturn V is sold,Ill try to edit stuff out of the original posts as they sell. Hopefully that will keep everything updated.

Thanks Ken

PS... Ill be posting in about a half hour. Ill have some PDR kits,older Custom kits and a few older Estes kits. Oh yea and LOTS of engines.

OOOOK... First I have 4 PD Rocketry kits. -- Alien Invader -- Scorpius. I thought I had more,maybe in another bin.

Estes kits V-2 -- Solar Sailor II -- Photon Probe -- Jupiter C (Hang tag is creased in a few places but otherwise sealed and intact).

Some older Custom kits,love the look of the packaging on these. Metrix -- Bullet -- Satelite Drone -- Dynamic Carrier -- Stealth Interceptor -- Landviper (very rare,I paid dearly for this) -- Equinox -- Lamprey -- Matra -- Engage.


Thats it for this batch...
