[FS] Saturn V box w/instructions, wraps and a very small portion of the parts.

My plan is to auction it but first I wanted to see if I got any insane offers for it. The last two SV boxes I sold were sold to the most loving owner not the highest bidder. But they paid what I considered insane. I will use the proceeds to certify motors if NAR will let me. Else I will buy boatloads of motors for the kid.



It is circa 1972 ish ($9.95 price on end).



It is the heavy cardboard style and there is no shipping marks on the outside so it must have been purchased at retail. The box has minor damage, something like water stripes on one portion of one side. Dusty. Comes with original "petina" dust.



I will ship it bill on delivery of course (what else?), and in a bigger box so it stays perfect. Estimated domestic shiping $10.



Reply by email. I have stated my criterion. I am working on some photos of the exterior and contents (yes nozzles are there).



If there is not a loving soul who is also somewhat financially motivated from rmr I will auction it on ROL so rocketeers get it not ebay geeks.



I am not planning on notifying any of the other lists I am on. I am not on an old kit list so if any of you are, you are welcome to crosspost this to that.

You are selling just the boxes? haha. I have some empty toilet paper tubes to sell also :-)

Strange, eh? These items have turned out to be rather popular (it is a true artifact). So since there is interest I mention it.

I suspect the empty toilet paper tubes command less money and inspire fewer fond memories.

I have had it right where I could see it for years. I bought a BUNCH of Saturn V's. This might be my last box. People hoarded my Centuri SV boxes.

You clearly don't spend much time looking at the plastic model or old toy groups on ebay. Someone is always selling just the box of something, as in the example below. They often go for ridiculous prices. I don't understand it myself.

The winning bid there was about $25. Even I would have paid that and I do not even collect that stuff.

I understand! I am the one who saved it and had it in a place of high honor for 30+ years!

Even when I get a rediculous price for it, it will never be enough for the emotional investment I have in it. Hence why I want to sell it to someone who will love it as much as I do.

I can tell you've never been stuck in a public toilet with ONLY the empty toilet paper tubes as company...

I just sold one for a whopping $1.25

Look up my completed auctions.

Similar year?

Sung to the tune of "Branded" (sixties western TV show with Chuck Connors):

Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl, What do you do when you're stranded and there's no toilet roll?

For the rest of your life you must prove you're a man By using...the back...of your hand

Mine is from earlier than that since it is not the color printed style.

I might just end up placing it back on display as it gets a lot of comments as is.
