Hey guys,

I have a bunch of RC Kits collecting dust here and I like to sell them.
Do you know what they might be worth or do you know a Group/Community/marketplace specialized in these types of airplanes?
I am located in Germany and willing to send my Kits all over Europe.

Wish I lived in Europe cause I'd pay the same price as any comparable sized plane. They look like great kits.

What hinders your urge to move to Europe !? Infrastructure is great, Travel is cheap and even more important Education is cheap.

They are great kits but I need the money from these kits for the Brushless conversion of a Piper, Carrera Optimus, two Supwithand a Fokker E3.
If I put them on Ebaygermany they gonna go for 50-60bucks only, which would be pretty disappointing.

Why not contact a local flying club? Someone would like to build those I am sure. You are not going to get rich selling old kits, the market is relatively small and many popular designs are now being reproduced. Plus with home laser cutting getting easier all the time converting old plans to new parts is easier than ever.

Being crushed in a cave in left me disabled. I can only exist on what I get and it takes me a couple months to save enough for even the mini ft planes. Moving out of the country just isn't on the table for me. Good luck and I would talk to any of the flying fields near you, I'm sure you'll find a qualified buyer. May your flights be long and your landings always soft!!
