My wife's old boss wanted to get rid of his rocket stuff. He loves rockets, but has no time for them right now as he is trying to finish up his PhD. He decided to sell them to me for 50 cents a motor. When I counted up 73 motors he was shocked at how many there were and immediately dropped the price to $25.

He also threw in a 24 inch Estes parachute.
He told us later that he will grab all of his old rockets and drop them off at my wife's office sometime. He said he had a Big Bertha and other stuff, plus an SR-71 kit still in the box.
I don't use 13mm motors so those are all going to work tomorrow for a guy there. If I was a jerk I could actually make a profit on this deal, but I made out like a bandit so I will pass on my good fortune. I'll probably sell all the 13mm's for just $5. He won't be getting a single igniter so the deal isn't quite as great as it first sounds.
All of the motors were in an old toolbox and had been removed from their packages. No wadding and only about 10 igniters in all. I already threw half the igniters away as they were broken. A few of the others look in real bad shape and I doubt they will work. I think I'll be lucky to get three good ones from the bunch. I hope my local Hobby Lobby sells igniters as I certainly need some as I was already running low.
