So this one will be a little different from how I have offered rockets in the past. I will be renting an enclosed U-Haul trailer for LDRS, primarily for security and to get the rocket stuff out of the cabin of my SUV and away from my wife and child. As such, the trailer may be relatively empty...may as use that space to try to pay off the rental, right?
Recently I haven't been able to fly nearly as much as I'd like and I have begun to contemplate downsizing my collection. That being said, my collection takes up a pretty small corner of the storage room in my basement and there's no dire need to move these rockets. Much like Tim Dixon did not too long ago, I'll move these rockets for the right price. Hell, one of the rockets being offered here was acquired from his sale! Please keep in mind that these are all flown rockets...they are certainly dirty, but they are well loved and are structurally ready to fly. You add recovery stuff, altimeters, etc to your liking.
DA RULEZ
So, as I said...these rockets can be had for the right price. I have written down the value I would like to get for these rockets. If I receive an offer that exceeds that value, you have dibs on the rocket. If someone exceeds your offer prior to the deadline, I will permit you the first right of refusal on the highest offer. Should you accept, you must match the offer...if you decline then the highest offer gets the rocket. THIS RIGHT IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST OFFER THAT EXCEEDS MY SECRET RESERVE. I will respond to your PM and inform you whether or not your offer has exceeded my reserve, and I will permit three attempts per person, per rocket to reach the reserve (no spamming me in $1 increments). Exceed my reserve by 25% and you get the rocket immediately and trump the first right of refusal, assuming someone hit my reserve prior to your offer..
I will accept offers from now until 10:00 PM EST on Friday, June 5th. I understand that I may get zero offers for these, and that's perfectly ok!
Here's some pictures of the rockets:
Left to right (or top to bottom)
Performance Rocketry Intimidator 3
3" diameter, 54mm motor mount. Fiberglass tubing with Profusion upper tube and VK nosecone with aluminum tip. Shock cord anchor installed in booster just above the length of a 54/2550 motor. AeroPack 76-54 tail cone retainer. Aluminum ejection charge canisters. This rocket has several flights on it and shows plenty of wear and tear, but is an outstanding flier.

4" Scratch Built Big Nuke SOLD FOR $150, RESERVE WAS $115
4" diameter, 54mm motor mount. Hawk Mountain fiberglass tubing with 5:1 conical FWFG nosecone and aluminum tip. G10 coupler with stepped ply bulkheads, boat tail made from LOC plastic transition, 54mm AeroPack retainer. Rocket has flown twice to 2,800' and 3,300' on 54/1050 EX loads. This is the prettiest rocket I currently own. The paint is really quite nice.
Rocketry Warehouse Broken Arrow XP SOLD
4" diameter, 3" motor mount. FWFG tubing, 4:1 ogive FWFG cone with aluminum tip. 3d printed Avbay sled, Aeropack retainer without a cap (base only). Rocket has flown 5 times from a Loki J820 to a 54/2550 purple.
Wildman 5" Jart
5" diameter, 54mm motor mount. FWFG tubing and FWFG nosecone with aluminum tip. Stepped ply bulkhead in the nose with a 3d printed sled, set up for single deployment or dual deployment with a cable cutter. AeroPack 54mm retainer. Rocket has flow 4 times, once on a CTI I800, Kosdon J450F, 54/700 Ex White, and 38/640 red. Second prettiest rocket I own, I have decent luck with this paint...
PML X-Calibur SOLD FOR $6.25 AND BEER OF MY CHOICE TO RKELLER!!!
54mm body tube, 38mm motor mount. Quantum tube, riveted payload bay, aluminum snap ring motor retainer. Chipped paint...(hint, if you PM me and offer me a $5 bill or a bottle of some delicious IPA beer at LDRS, the rocket is yours. Beer must be really awesome, and won't be consumed while the waiver is open. Any beer offer will trump a $5 offer.)
Scratch Built 5.5" Nike Smoke
5.5" LOC tube, fiberglassed with 2 layers of 4.5oz satin weave glass. Thick wall paper coupler from Ken at Performance Hobbies. Polecat Aerospace fiberglass nosecone. 54mm central mount, 4x 29mm outboards. The rocket will take a 2550 central motor and ~16" long 29mm outboards. Conduits and t-nuts installed for wire routing and motor retention. Altimeter bay is currently a 54mm altitube, strongly recommend modding it. Rocket has flown twice, once on an AMW J480BB and an AMW-ProX K1720 Scalded Tiger (yeeeeehawwww).
Last but not least, my Hawk Mountain Bad Attitude. Rocket will take a 76/6000 (and will withstand a CATO, as I have proven twice...). Performance Rocketry 6:1 VK FWFG cone with aluminum tip. Aeropack flange retainer without a cap. I really like this rocket a lot.
