Whoa! Let me know if you sell it.

I have 3 sealed, in mint condition. I'll let them all go for $599.00 and
throw in the shipping.    ; )
(Just joking)

Woulda had 4 but 1 is right in the middle of  "construction to destruction."

Almost everbody's got at least one (or more) of the Estes 30th Anniversary
Saturn V kits already. $200 sounds way too high.They go for between $50 & $80
in the auctions all the time.  --  Richard "maybe he's way too high" Hickok

200 bucks? Not in this lifetime.  Gave 70.00 for mine.

Actually, back about the fall of 1998 there was an auction frenzy right here
on rmr and one of the model 2001 kits went for well over $200.00. A mint
condition K series Centuri kit from the late 60's still might bring more
than that for a collector, NOT a builder.

Verna picked up the last one the local Hobby Lobby had just before last
Christmas with a 1/2 off coupon for $49.00. There are still a few from the
last production run out there for about $89.00.

Randy
Leo - 25 Jan 2004 11:04 GMT
The Centuri kits go for as much as $233.50 US e.g. eBay 21.12.2003.

The Estes kits much much less.

OK, I should not have said not in my lifetime, since people are willing to
pay that :)  (I wouldn't)  For that kinda moolah, I'd get an Apogee SV.

Me neither!

That would be a good choice.

That's why we're doing our 3 stage attempt on the $49.00 kit. If it doesn't
make it, we're really not out that much, just some time and besides, we're
enjoying the build and figuring out the little details. Still got 3 more
waiting and it's just a matter of time before Estes releases it again. If by
some freak accident it actually flies as intended, even if just once, it
will be the rocketry success of MY life time.

I've never been a collector, I like to fly too much. Doing something
different is half the fun, as long as it's safe.

Good luck.  My local hobby shop still has one on the shelf for $79.95.

How come the BATFE isn't after Mr. W. E. Coyote?
And does Mr. E. Fudd have a license for his shotgun?

Mr. Fudd does own a mansion and a yacht, or so I've heard.

yes he does and he presents it to Bugs in disguise as game warden

As to Wile E., I am not so sure, I beleive he  gets exemption due to his
endangered species rating

Mr. Coyote is a CUSTOMER of ACME, not an officer of the corporation.
ANd currently has legal action pending against ACME.

Who says they're not?  I'll bet there is a BATFE assault van with a
barrel of dip shaking up all the speak easys looking for W. E. Coyote.
IF they don't find him soon, they'll just frame the Rabbit.

Actually, Mr. Coyote IS legal.  As an employee of Warner Brothers using
explosives as part of his job, he is covered by any permit Warner Brothers
has.  Additionally, before last May he was simply making in-state and on-site
purchases, legal under then current rules.  Several high ranking people ("in
the know", wink, wink) have told people they know who have posted information
on a website (which has since been changed) that Mr. Coyote became a
contractor for the Federal Government due to his extensive background in
combining rockets with high explosives.  After several unfortunate incidents
involving anvils, freight trains, and bird seed, Mr. Coyote was paid a
handsome severance fee and released from his contract.  Word on the plateau
has it that he is now looking to purchase an ailing rocket company.

I suppose he's responsible for the botched test and the burned out van
too...

I bet that van full of reloads they burned had "ACME" printed on the side.
