The model engine market is fickle, and it also has its normal up and downs. Right now with global economic turmoil the prices of everything are falling. In the past I have seen the NIB Fuji .099's sell for $150 bucks. One mans trash is another mans treasure. You just don't know how the market is going to go. One thing is for certain, however, and that is the longer you hold onto something the more valuable it will eventually become.
