Good deal?
Seller wants $125 for the box. Hoping some of the more eBay savvy will weigh in.

Re: Good deal?
Without an itemized list of what's here the value is hard to determine.

Re: Good deal?
Looks like a lot of parts. Maybe if you want to sell it piece by piece on ebay. Otherwise, if you just need it for spares, much of it's probably easily available new in some functional form or another. Like Dave said, an inventory sheet would be the only way to really know.

Re: Good deal?
If you use it for spares for yourself then yes.
Ebay too I suppose, but you need to factor in your time, listing fees and Paypal fees.

Re: Good deal?
I would think that off-loading items that you don't need/want would be a major PITA which was probably the motivation of the seller in the first place.

Re: Good deal?
you gotta figure, you'll need to double your money at least, figuring the time and effort, eBay & PayPal will take about 15%.
I'm very interested in the Dynamic Models, glowhead C-43 shown in photo, please let me know.

Re: Good deal?
So, you've got the box now, Crank?
I'll be awaiting the inventory list. I'm sure there are some parts in there I'd like to have... unless you're going to make a bed out of them and lay amongst all your shiny treasures like ol' Smaug.

Re: Good deal?
I can't identify some parts, like the three large heads in the first photo. Look like 60 size engine parts.
And the fuel tank thats sitting on the carb box in the first photo, any help?

Re: Good deal?
Cool, glad it made it! No more boxes right now, that one came from the local hobby shop. I want you to know it took every ounce of honesty I have for the Tee Dee .09 piston/cylinder set to go in the box I wouldn't hold my breath for the inventory sheet Rusty, that's going to take a good long while!

I want to say the tank is for an Atwood .049.
LOTS of good stuff there!

Re: Good deal?
In the picture with the cylinder heads, directly behind the Bramco throttle box is a crankshaft. I'm 100% certain that's a Fox crank. It appears it may be for a combat special. Could you provide a close up picture of that crank? Do you also have anyway of measuring the OD of that crank and also the crankpin. Seeing that Fox made different versions, I may be able to tell just by the style of drive cogs on the front of that crank. Would you be interested in parting with that crank if I was interested in it? Ken

Re: Good deal?
I'm still sure that's a Fox crank. The cogs are similar to the crank I have. I'm almost sure I know the engine it is from. It appears to be a Fox.36x or a .35 X Blue Ribbon special. Prior to these designs, the Fox Combat special Blackhead may also be another candidate. I just don't recall the Blackheads having a hollow crankpin. This crank is not for the engine I was hoping as the crank cutout is too far aft. I appreciate you posting the pics. I was really hoping for this to be a match to my engine as I do have a tendency to break them. They're somewhat fragile when you feed it enough vitamin N to them. Ken

Re: Good deal?
I'd be interested in any Tee Dee .049 or .051 guts if you run across them. Cranks, crankcases, piston/cylinders, etc.

Re: Good deal?
Hi Rusty,
There were no Tee Dee .049 .051 parts at all, not even a glow head and no .010 tank that Matt wanted. Maybe in the next box o stuff.
