Default EstesLiterature and Promo Material

I currently have a number of auctions on Ebay for old Estes literature and promo material. I really don't want any money for this stuff..............just hoping to get it into the hands of folks who have an interest, or perhaps spark an interest in this area of collecting. All of the auctions start at 99 cents. That probably won't cover the auction fees and Paypal fees, but that's OK. I have about 10 more lots to put up in the next two weeks. There's some neat old stuff in some of these lots. Feel free to drop in on my auctions anytime (search mojo1986 on Ebay)...........and don't pay too much. As stated, I just don't want to throw this stuff out when there might be someone out there who would find value in it.

Joe

You could donate the items to the NAR to use in the annual NARAM auction which raises a LOT of money for educational grants. I have donated many items in the past (catalogs galore, and other goodies).

Fred, most of this is low value stuff, not something which would, in my opinion, attract much attention at a NAR auction. However, I have never attended a NAR function, so if you want to check out my auctions now on Ebay and feel that the stuff would be useful to NAR, let me know and I'll send some of the remaining lots over to you.

I'm not in charge of the NAR NARAM auction, and I will not be at NARAM this year. I have been to several in the past and they are fun and exciting and raise a *LOT* of money. And even things that seem to have little value can get some interesting bids.

If you have anything leftover, feel free to contact someone at the NAR and see if they would like you to send anything you wish for use at this year's or next year's NARAM fundraising auction.

Good luck.

I was just reading about the NAR scholarship. Was wondering if it is for an engineering/rocket related field or any degree?

Call or e-mail them and they will answer any questions you have - AND the answers will be correct. We can provide answers, but they will be guesses and most likely incorrect.

Yeah, but some of us are really good guessers....

I don't plan on applying for one, just wondering.
