Airtronics Legend Kit - what's it worth?


Just came across a NIB Airtronics Legend kit (box is an 8 out of 10) and all parts appear present and accounted for. I've been hoarding Airtronics glider kits for too long so I guess this one will be the first to go, but I need some price range for this one....suggestions? And yes, this will go in the classifieds - no Flee-bay for me!!!

Thanks in advance,

Jerry

$225 -$250? Prices seemed to have stabilised or dropped a bit. There's a 900 for $250 that's been up for 5? Days. Reputable seller. Reasonable price.

I guess put it up at the top end. It's easier to come down or value add by splitting shipping or something. And if you are t desperate, set a minimum in your mind and don't accept less!!

Good luck with the sale.
Cheers

Had no idea people would pay that much for old kits.

Ed, it depends on the kit. Airtronics kits are valued pretty high. I was lucky enough 10 years ago or maybe it was 12-13 years ago to purchase a Legend built by Schrederman. It was a bargain. But near the end of production, the kits were well over $100 even then. The Legend was a grail for my oldest son and we built one from a new kit about 1998 or 1999. That Sagitta 900 kit is not overpriced, so I'm sure it will sell. I sold one last year somewhere around that price, maybe just a touch less, but shipping has gone up about 20% here where I live.

I remember how nice they looked in the RCM ads. Spent a few evenings with copy machine, tracing the plan view, wishing for a set of plans.
Then the ads no longer had the plan view... security?
Now i believe i have an original (not reproduction) pencil drawing that came with a purchase here on rcg. A real treasure.
Super sexy plane.
