What do you think they're worth?

My God! Rivera has broken into Bob Craddock's secret vault! (Bob used to be called Howard Hughes)

I counted at least 3 Interceptors. It's a freakin' smogasboard.

Actually, since they're old and all, they probably aren't worth much but being the nice guy that I am, I'd give them $20 for the lot and even pay the shipping.

Hey Wolf,

They even have a couple of the Centuri Shuttles you were looking for about 5 years ago. I think we (rmr) ought to go together and get one for you, for keeping the FAQ all these years... if you still want it.

Randy

Worthless.

I will come by tomorrow with an armored car^H^H^H^H^H^H dump truck to help dispose of it. ;O)

Seriously? Several thousand, easily, by a quick look. I'd offer $2K right now, for the whole lot.

Thou$ands! Holy Cow! I about had a seizure looking at all of that! Some people have all of the luck!

I'll give you $3,000

DOH! I wish I had the cash right now to outbid you, cuz I probably would go even higher. Would want to view the stuff first, to get an accurate inventory and determine the condition.

Seriously, the seller(s) may want to auction off the entire kit n' kaboodle all at once, to someone willing to take the risk of piecing it out one kit at a time on ebay. They probably wouldn't make as much, but the effort saved vs. auctioning each kit individually might be worth it.

$8,888.88

C'mon, Pete - you don't HAVE to make that next car payment, do you? And those bunny wabbits could stand to go on a diet anyway, right? And your wife's grandmother's ring would SURE fetch a lot of money down at that pawn shop, don't you think?

Thanks for making my day, Pete!!

What are they worth? Let's just say you could put a kid a good way through college on that stash. Seriously, that stuff needs to be in the Smithsonian (or in my basement).

AW MAN! So many rockets, and so little money. Please keep me informed on the auction of those kits, they will bring a very good price, 20-100 bucks per kit, or more (depending on the drooling factor :-)

Thanks for the posting John. Brings back memories, as a kid I darn near built everyone of them.

How much is your childhood worth? The picture with the Astron Spaceplane and the others almost brings a tear to these elderly eyes.... ghod, I love those things. Can't buy back lost youth, though. I'm going to keep saying that to myself for days to come, I think.. Braz NAR 12442

You are in violation of the Microsquash Secret Ownership of Everything policy and must pay a royalty of $1000 for every kit sold, or 110% of the sale price, whichever is greater.

In order to avoid any further unpleasant legal action, please ship the kits to Microsquash immediately. I shall be happy to act as your intermediary in this affair.

By the way, I have a really great deal on property in Florida.

I checked with them and it turns out that there is still more than what is pictured. They didn't have time to photograph everything yet but they said they would be adding more photos in day or two.

John

Oh man..... I shouldn't have looked. So many models that I used to own, so many that I've always wanted to own.

It's just not right that all those kits are in one place. I haven't seen a display like that since I was in Mike Jungclas' basement, and most of his stuff was in boxes. Drool city.

I'm so thoroughly nostalgic and depressed now it's not funny.

I'd give you my first born right now (he's upstairs yelling at his "little" brother (6'4" 270lbs) and completely on my nerves) for the whole lot, and even let you keep the one item you like the most. :)

I guess I've never seen Mike's basement. More stuff than my basement? Is that even possible?

I wonder if Mike is in the selling mood right now...

I'll be there bright and early with my outhouse, V-2's, Coffee Creamer and other rockets. I'm a little leary about flying a J there w/o dual deployment, though. Lots of draggy stuff for me.
