Default eBay rocketry store?

Collected too many kits, feel like a horder.
But, with age now, am considering setting up an eBay rocketry store. Maybe a first for oop kits. Amazon under consideration too. Am not interested in up-selling either.
Need feedback on "fair pricing" . Besides Estes, I have Vashon and original NCR.
Thanks, for you input.

I would offer them first at places where you didn't have to pay fees. This will also allow the true collector/modeler to aquire them without trying to outbid people like Goodrocks1 who will just resell them at an elevated price.
I could send you a list of a few I'm missing and if you have any I'm sure we can come to a mutually agreeable price(s). Payment of your choice.
Except checks, I have no checking account.
Send me a PM with your Email and I can forward my list to you.

If I was looking to sell OOP kits at fixed prices (vs auction style) I'd want to keep as much money for myself as possible. I'd first offer them to the rocketry community here in the For Sale section, something that would cost me nothing. Any that don't sell here I'd then move to something like eBay that would have a wider audience but would then of course have fees involved for each item sold.

You could also put them on Scott's auction site. I just sold one there.
There are no Ebay fees/politics to deal with there either!

I don't think this has been maintained, but below is a site where rocket auctions were tracked with low/high prices. This may help you in your pricing
