My grandfather left me all his RC stuff - is it worth anything?
My Grandfather passed and I would like to get rid of some of his old equipment. Id much rather sell it for cheap than throw it away.
First I have some boxes full of stuff:
1) E-Flite 4-Channel 72Mhz PPM Transmitter
2) Futaba FP-2NBL
3) Futaba FP-T2L
4) Futaba FP-TF-AM
5) Airtonics Avenger AV2S
6) Futaba FP-T4L
7) Kraft KP4K 72,830 MHz
8) Hobby Transformer #6605
9) Vintage Top Flite Super M Maple Airplane Prop 12-6 12" - 2 Props
10) TF Super M 10-6 Prop
11) Tower Hobbies Deluxe Power Panel
12) Futaba AEC-1 Aileron Extension Cord
13) Dumas #2024 Rechargeable Battery
14) Sullivan Hi-Tork Starter
15) Cortland 50yds Braided Nylon Squidding Line
16) Small Silicone "x" Fuel Line
17) RC Med Glow Plugs (at least 2)
18) Ni-Starter McDaniel R.C. Inc
19) A "Super X" what looks like a fuel pump.
20) Altech SureStart 100 Power Panel
... and other nic-nacs and doo-dads lots of little parts, servos, lines, motors, etc. All sorts of things.
Next I have what used to be a complete plane and a complete ship:

I also have a couple of model plane engines that I was not able to find this evening that must be in the garage.
Are any of these parts valuable to anyone?
All of it is for sale for cheap please contact me with questions. Would love to sell the whole lot for cheap but will also sell individual parts.

I would contact one of the few local clubs, they should be able to help you with the stuff. Most of the stuff is not worth much, the boat might be worth some money, but the rest is probably worth less then $100, but it is not throw away stuff. Good luck.
Here are a few clubs in your area:

Hard to say without seeing the equipment the club idea is a good idea
The batteries are worthless I am assuming they're old

You can get a few dollars each on the old radios on EBay if they work. If you package the starter, glow driver and panel together they will bring maybe $40. The props and batteries aren't worth anything.
