Still any interest?
Having gotten back into 1/2A again, I find myself with some "larger" small engines that I now realize I'll never use again. I have 2 OS FS20's and 2 OS FS26's. All are used and in good running order. Is there still enough interest in this type of motor to justify placing an ad? I'm not looking to get top-dollar, I just want them gone, hopefully to someone who'll run and fly them. Any opinions?

Those are the 4 strokes correct? Assuming they are in good to excellent condition and in running order they are worth maybe $100 each on ebay. That said sight unseen and not knowing for sure what real condition they are in I would tend to bid low myself (about $30-40 each) and probably get outbid. They are great little engines.

Here the older four strokes from OS are quite well liked by people who are running old-school models. They are a bit more timid and well behaved compared to the newer engines,so I don't think you'll have any problem selling them if they are in good conditions.

I can't say for sure but I think you'll find that there's a strong intrest in them. Lot's of folks still enjoy relaxed casual flying either primarily or as a change of pace. And a nice looking lightly built light plane scale model or old pre-war cabin free flight type model with a small 4 stroke is just a perfect matchup.
So if you list them in the Marketplace at around a hundred I think you'd see them either go right away or at most you'd have to wait a month or two until the right person found the ad, was shocked that it was still for sale and then gleefully responded.

I haven't given much thought to asking prices but I'm pretty sure I don't want to mess with overseas shipping. Sorry, mate.
