Hello Rocketry Forum! New member here. I am looking to sell some rocket kits and am seeking some advice. Here's what I have --
Estes #1269 Honest John Collectors Series
Estes #2001 Saturn V
Estes #2064 Impulse Pro Series
Estes #2066 Patriot Missile Pro Series
Estes #2083 Terrier/Sandhawk Pro Series
Estes #2111 Mercury Atlas Masters Series
Flight Systems #1014 1/8 Black Brant II
Flight Systems #1022 Megatron (2-stage)
Estes/North Coast Rocketry #NCR 3508 Big Brute
All are new in box, unbuilt kits.
Here's the 'seeking advice' part -- not sure how best to sell. Not sure what things are really worth as far as just posting 'for sale' ads here - and have seen some crazy pricing on e-bay (up to $500 for a Patriot? Really??). While that would be nice, not sure if things are actually selling, or if that's just what people are asking!
So how are most of you selling kits - post here, set a "high" price and see what you may be counter-offered? Just go with e-bay and see what happens?
Serious poster here - not 'fishing' or whatever. Primarily a long-time R/C'er.... that stuff I know what it's worth and what it would actually sell for. This stuff, not so much! Don't want to take advantage of anyone, nor do I want to be taken advantage of. Just have collected some rocket kits, haven't built or flown any in quite a while, so looking to 'thin the herd' and trying to figure out the best way to do that.
Appreciate any advice you may have to offer.
Thanks --
