Looking for an Estes Mini Max kit, please help!

Wouldn't mind one myself, but I expect just to scratch-clone.

Definitely one that I wish Estes would start selling again.

Probably out of stock, but you could try them.

The entry says out of stock.

To the OP - my spreadsheet says I have one. I don’t know whether it’s balsa or plastic nosed, The box it’s supposed to be in is at the bottom of one of the stacks of boxes…how badly do you want it ?

If you have it I'll take it... within reason course. I don't care which material the nose cone is.

Thanks,
Tom

Nah, I tried everyone last year. Found one, but they wanted $35 for it. I really miss Gordon at times likes this.

You need a few more Maxes, Bill. How many do you have now, about X882 of them?

Looks like there is some interest in this nice little kit from Estes, I just checked Ebay, they are asking in the $40 plus range now plus huge shipping. Everyone likes to score big on sales of older kits, and obviously many collectors will pay big dollars for some real rare stuff. But in some cases it is getting ridiculous, imho.

I have two Mini Max kits that I will offer for sale to someone that will in fact build them, I like Lee Reep's comment about his granddaughter. But obviously once they are out of my hands what the new owner does is their business.

As I don't sell a lot on line, and I have a couple items currently listed on that other forum, and in response to those in this thread, would $25US per kit be a reasonable ask? $45US for the pair? They would be coming from Alberta Canada, and I have already done some preliminary shipping pricing, approximately $20US, if both go the shipping is the same, the main criteria is box size rather than mass.

I tried to upload a photo of the two kits with no joy, but can forward it to prospective buyers.

If there is any interest, please feel free to PM me or e-mail direct to:
