American Alliance was a niche company. Their line consisted of SciFi offereings that were all part of a grand story with the American Alliance of Earth vs the "bad guys". They were definitely of a "retro" style and the parts quality was not always the best (the BT spiral were notorious) but they were generally fun and unlike most other offerings. Given time, I would have eventually gotten them all but... This kit is new and unopened. It has an 18mm motor mount and recovers by parachute.

I am asking $35

This kit is offered for sale in an effort to liquidate my collection of kits and is being offered via cross postings on The Rocketry Forum and Ye Olde Rocket Forum. The price indicated is what I have determined by looking for evidence of similar sales but, admittedly, might reflect a poor judgement on my part. I'm just doing the best that I can. The price does NOT include shipping. Interested persons are invited to contact me via PM and I will calculate the shipping. Payment is expected by means of PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. My intention is to make shipments twice per week after confirming receipt of funds. I will try to give the most accurate descriptions I am able to provide and will happily answer any specific questions either by PM or within the post thread.

I'm trying to be fair and honor a "first come, first serve" precedence when dealing with inquiries. That invovles juggling messages I see while at work at the hospital coming from both TRF and YORF. That started out easy but got more complicated as there were more and more rockets listed. I made some mistakes and for that I am sorry.

I also don't mind holding rockets as you wait for more to become available. This does help with shipping costs and nobody has been more horrified than I over the current postal rates. That said, I am going to have to change one thing. I am only going to set aside "sold" rockets. I tried it the other way and a few times I was left in the lurch when others were interested in a rocket. That was only a mild annoyance. What I cannot tolerate is the mistakes that I made in selling something that had been promised. With my faulty memory and hectic schedule, the only way to prevent this when so many rockets are up for sale (with hundreds more to come) is to strictly segregate the sold stuff from the unsold stuff. A hold with an intent to buy now gets 24 hours, barring exigent circumstances, after that, it's back on the market.

Can you please start reporting these sold?

I'm trying to understand what you are requesting. I will certainly be glad to do as asked if able.

1. When I started selling, I had no trouble on most of my threads changing the for sale icon to sold
2. over time, I had accesss to fewer and fewer threads where I could do it myself until there were none
3. I began to use the "report" label at the bottom of each post and would submit "mark as sold"
4, I would also reply to the thread with a "sold" notice.
5. I have noticed that the threads I have reported have usually been switched; I think it has been several months since I missed one

Am I doing something wrong or is an issue I am not seeing?
 
Just click the report button and we will change the prefix. We have had too many people destroy threads.

That's what I've been doing. Usually it gets taken care swiftly, often by you. Is there something I'm missing besides clicking and requesting the change?
 
No issue but the last 3-4 have not shown up as reported.
 
Shall I add a PM requesting a change to my checklist?

You can PM me directly. I am just trying to clean up the yard sale. There are a bunch of times that "sold" but have not had their prefix edited.

Roger that.

Will do. Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble. I have corrected nearly 30 threads in a week that have sold but were never reported sold. I know it had to be annoying to sellers and buyers alike when they remained open for sale.
