My Dad used to say the value of an item was whatever a seller who didn't want to sell and a buyer who didn't want to buy agreed on. That sounds impossible, but it's a good formula. Any old item has a variable price which depends on several things:
1. The rarity of the item.
2. The location of the item.
3. Thecondition of the item.
4. How badly the seller wants to sell it.
5. How badly the buyer wants to buy it.

As stated, skylanes price list is a great starting point, then go to the RCU classifieds and ebay and do a search on each one and you can find out what they are actually selling for. Anything else is just opinion. I sell a lot of kits and that is the fastest and easiest way to find what they are going for.

Hello there. I was wondering which Curtis Robin kit it is and the wing span? Also would you be interested in selling it? I have a 80" version and would like to build another.

Hi it was a flyline 41" wingspan rc or freeflight, but I am sorry they have all been sold on ebay except for one which is made by S.I.G manufacturing and is the Cabinaire I will post a pic. of it. I must say I done very well on the sales and was very happy with the amount that they brought.
