The ebay listing of the big lot of Estes motors is back. Apparently, they revised the description to add some additional details (sparked by some of our questions no doubt) to the motor types and any info on storage conditions (no info on the latter count).

Here is a very good deal on an Xacto #87 knife set from the early 70s. Very nice condition and looks to be totally complete. Priced at $38 with free shipping. If you are looking for a decent tool set to start with, you'd have to look long and hard to beat this deal.

Not my listing nor do I know the lister.

Yeah, I don't follow this stuff much, but that seems to me to be a really good deal. Just to use it, never mind that it probably qualifies as a vintage collectible.

Yep, a good deal for someone...it’s gone.

All low power A's and B's, though.
A3-0, A5-0S, 1/2A6-2S, 1/2A6-2, and some B4-6.
Shorty engines might be a good find.
Seller response.

Now showing ‘out of stock’ on my watch list with one bid. So it would seem that someone has made an offer that was accepted. Hope they got a good deal.

Not a bad deal on a Farside-X. Package not perfect, but may be a good builder kit.

Yeah, I figured it would not last long. I thought about getting it at that price, but I have a sealed one and a builder (open) kit, so I figured it would be best to let someone else grab it.

Not a bad price to get an original Fin-Kwik. I already have two otherwise would've bid on this.
