Is this the Facebook site ?
If so good luck with that as many members here are your target audience and many of those refuse to have anything to do with that site.
You would have much better luck including PRICES in your .pdf here.
You have several interesting kits in the list.

Wrong! The NAR group has over 9000 members. One of the “personal pages” (i.e. started by an individual) — the The Model Rocketry Fanatics group, has over 6000 members.

I detest Zuckerberg, but follow numerous FB rocketry groups, becaus there are thousands of people posting daily in these groups, and a huge amount of information shared by people who have a passion about the hobby.

I follow perhaps 20 groups, but there are hundreds. And practically every rocketry club has a FB page. There are 3 BST (Buy,Sell, Trade) groups just for model rocketry that I follow.

And with the heavy-handedness of FB, there are now several rocketry groups on MeWe. Six months ago there was one group, with a 6 month old post and only a couple members. I would like to see all the FB rocketrygroups move to non-censoring platforms like MeWe, but that isn’t likely to happen.

Love it or hate it, the social media sites are where the bulk of the action is.

And you just nailed the coffin shut on any chance for the price list to get posted here.

If the seller wants to maximize chances of selling, he will post prices here as well. I know he misses out on a real opportunity if he does not.

I am just being a realist. To say “nobody surfs FB for rockets” is naaive.

You have to realize that some of us refuse to be a realist. :D
