I can't help you out other than to say as an owner of this kit, it is well worth the $200 regardless of what most of us paid for them.

Twice the price and missing part good luck!

Why not? Wildman sells the 3" Wildman Kit for $286.

$286 includes ALL hardware,nuts,bolts,Kevlar,shock cords.....that's what the difference in pricing is about. The 3" Darkstar is a "stripped down" kit.....

Oh ok......well anyway...I think $200 isn't out of line. I'd consider it if I didn't own one. Anyway....good luck on the sale.

Alright fellas. If you don't like the price you don't have to buy it. I got the kit for about 150$. I got the second run and had to get wildman club, so im not making a lot. Im not out to rip anyone off, just trying to keep my head above water like everyone else.

This isn't black friday, I'm not wildman, and I thought the price seemed ok.

 

[lkal32]

Just to clarify why I understood $200 as a good price:

Large body tube: $99 (missing 3 inches and has slots, so lets assume $89)
Small body tube: $49 (missing two inches, so lets say $45)
Coupler: $24
Nosecone: $74
Centering Rings (3): $18
Bulkplates (5): $27.50
Fins: $30
[note: I am only using those links as a reference to prices, nothing else]

That's over $300 right there in stock parts. Just doing the math for you all so you don't think I'm crazy.

Anyway. If you want any or all of these parts, send me a message with what YOU think is reasonable, and maybe we can work out a deal.

I never said the kit wasn't worth the $200 I personally believe it is. If I didn't own 2 of them and missed out on the "IPO" I would be all over it. I was just explaing the cost comparison to the 3" wildman to be kinda "apples to oranges"

Again, it's a good deal and I'm sure someone will be willing to pay a premium to grab it from you. I know many were wishing they bought one on the first offer.

It was nothing personal against you or anyone else Griffin. No problems.

I'm in the middle of building mine. This is a great kit. Really impressive. Wish I'd bought 10 at the BFS!!

I don't see what's missing to make it not a complete Darkstar?

 

[troj]

Truth be told, Lukas is offering a great price.

If I didn't already have rockets coming out orifices we won't be discussing, I'd be seriously considering buying it!

17.5 inch 54mm Motor mount tube.

 

[lkal32]

It is missing the motor mount tube. I used it in a different rocket because I had planned to make this MD.

 

[maxvelocity]

hmmmmm Ive had a spare motor tube laying around forever...

 

[Quaranta]

The nosecone coupler isn't specifically mentioned. Is it included?

The nosecone coupler isn't specifically mentioned. Is it included?

Yes it is included. The only thing that is not included is the 54mm motor mount tube. I can include the decal as well but I found it and it has been attacked by our pet rabbit, so it will have some chew marks in it

I will make this a complete deal. I have a spare section of motor mount tubing. Whoever buys this kit, I will send you the tube. Now it is a complete kit and well worth it.
