I was afraid it would get gone before anyone here could grab it. In fact, I am surprised it lasted long enough for me to even post it here. I checked the listing after I posted my note here to make sure it was still available and it was. But it was not going to last long at all, I knew that. I was tempted to get it myself but I just did not need another and really wanted someone here to have it, if possible.

This seller has a pretty good price on the new Estes Nike Smoke PSII kit. They have two at $60 each, free shipping. Estes is asking $69, PLUS shipping. I have never purchased form this seller, so I can?t vouch for them, but looks like a good deal.

I just got a Jupiter-C for $62 and consider that a steal seeing as how prices have been going lately.
A Mars Lander just went for a reasonable $140 last week.

Cool

As the MPC launcher was going for more than I thought I could spend, I did a best offer buy one of these.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2859554974...%3Avlp_homepage

Offered substantially less, and was accepted.

Seems like a bargain for that pad. You should grab two at that price.

Some here may have been following the auction referenced below for a Centuri Professional Firing Panel (the metal boxed controller used for MiniMax kits back in the day). This one sold earlier today for about $229.

Talking with the seller, they say they also have an LIA-100 launcher and a built AeroDart rocket. I have encouraged them to list those on eBay as well, and after the price the controller realized, I suspect they will be listing the launcher. I didn't need another controller or launcher, but thought some here might be interested in items such as these.

Here is the link to the controller. For those that might be interested in following this seller for the (potentially) upcoming LIA-100 launcher listing, you can get their ebay seller name there.

Not my listing nor do I know the seller.

The same seller of the Centuri Space 1999 Eagle Transporter kit offered another sealed one today, https://www.ebay.com/itm/375586765244 , for $10 more than the previous one. It is no longer available . Not sure if they have more of these they plan to sell.

That certainly has been good prices on two Eagle Transporters. If I had needed another I would have certainly jumped on the first one they listed.

Here is another one that was listed just a bit ago and shows a price a little more in line with what these go for, though I?d say this one is starting off with too high of an opening price. They are starting this one at $399, but I have seen these go for well over $300 on a number of occasions.

Now that I have made a purchase, I have written to the seller to inquire if they plan to sell more of these. I will let y'all know what they say.
