what is it worth?

If not, then don't worry about it. Funny thing is value is really determined by what folks are willing to pay. Ebay is a prime example........

Take you Naboo fighter for instance. It's not my cup of tea so I would value it low. For you the value is what you paid for it. You dig?

Just enjoy them and keep them in good condition and if you have to sell them all one day you will do just fine.

i might thin out my collection in the future, i payed $70 for the nib star wars cl model

$350? In that case I have some engines for sale just kidding

Seriously though, see what I mean Mitch? There is something in your lot that Ahrma sees as valueable to him.

A collector may pay more than a user or maybe less depending on condition. There is probably a grading system and an actual book value for these things. Neither amount to a hill of beans in the "real world"

All I am trying to say is, the value is dependant on the buyer, find the right buyer and your golden.

Years ago I sold $3000 "book" value in comic books for $250 because I needed a clutch for my car and was in a real bind. I also sold a brand new Gibson SG standard for $400 when my daughter was born as we needed to make a down payment on a used car. I paid $1500 for it when I ordered it.

So.... Hang on to your stuff. Money will come to you if you work hard.

Now these prices are just estimates, some may be too low and some may be too high, you know prices change all the time on eBay.


Golden bee, complete with black prop driver -----------$20-30
Never Run early Baby bee with rare tatone muffler-------------$25-30
New Cox Star wars fighter w/ surestart .049---------$45-70
Red Tank .020 Peewee----------$18-30
Silver Tank Peewee .020 (near mint) from Ron-----$20-35
2 cox .049 car engines From CrnkBndr-------$15-20 (there are a lot of these floating around right now, I would keep them for awhile until they stop popping up on eBay)
P-39 Aira Cobra from Joe---------Not sure
Cox Medallion .09 w/ New wrap around muffler from Wilf----------$40-60 (not 100% sure, haven't been watching these lately)
Cox Teedee .010 from Matt at Ex Model Engines---------$85-100
& enough parts to build 1 cox .049--------depends on what .049



for the non cox stuff, I would have to do some digging before giving prices
