I've re-bid a few of my earlier bids, and have tried to be more "realistic."

Finally got my first "interesting" bid! Not really what I want to get for it, but it is something I'll have to consider.

Man, this would be easier if you posted minimum acceptable prices, but that would be far less passive-aggressive.

Is the Estes Mercury Redstone (plastic fin version) the 2167 released a few years back?

That is correct.

Wanted to update this thread and say, no, I haven't forgotten about it.

I will be selling a couple of items to a couple of people. Please be patient and I will get in touch.

Of course, this didn't go as I had planned, as I really hoped to unload some of the midlevel stuff and at pretty reasonable prices. Instead people bid mostly on the things I would never probably sell. Which is really what I should've expected anyway.

You should not have listed items you had no intention to sell.
That just creates useless email traffic.
That at best is just fishing for foolishly high bids and at worst is a nuisance.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Sorry That I didnt stumble across your auction until now but I am really interested in purchasing your estes Blackhawk I was browsing your rocketry webpage and very happy to see that it says you still may have the Blackhawk Fighter #2053 .
This Was a 1991 estes catalog item. I have owned this rocket in the past and launched it so many times that they eventually disintegrated. I also up-scaled it 300% and it was something to see. I was able to download the kit's plans but I would really like to own the original rocket again to up-scale it to 500% ! Whoa , Now that will be something to see. Please let me know if you still have it and i will be happy to purchase it from you by paypal

If I am unable to get the original rocket, I would be great full if some one could give me the dimensions of all the tubes and nose cones. Thanks So Much!

Here are the plans.

Tubes are BT-50 at 8.25" long.

Cones are PNC-50YR injection molded. You can look over the nosecone list on my website to see what kits all use this cone so you can get some for cloning. They may be available in the BT-50 size cone pack from Estes as well.
