I went to an estate auction yesterday . Stuff was pretty expensive . Towards the end I decided to poke around a box of ceiling lights that was under a table and I spotted a model engine in the bottom - I covered it up and asked the runner to put it up , he said "Sure" . I got the box for $5

The engine is brand new never been used - I just put it on Ebay.

Great score! That looks like a 60 or 65 cc. K&B is a good brand too, in fact you used to be able to send them to a certain hacker that could tweak them for just a bit more performance. This involved the exhaust, rather than the cylinder.

Now you'll have to learn to build and fly model planes.

I love getting boxes like that at auctions--its always best to stay until the end of the auction if you can, things get pretty cheap at the end because everyone has run out of money :wink: . I've scored some big time goodies like that.
Hope you make a nice profit, Mojjax!!

Nice. I found one for an RC plane at a thrift store. Paid 5 bux for it and made $60. Sure wish I could find one every day. ;D
