RE: Antique kits???
I have seen kits like this sell in the $100.00 price range on ebay.
At flea and swap markets $50.00 to $75.00.
I hope this gives you a starting point.

Heres a good site that will give you an idea of what a lot of old kits are selling for.
Unfortunatly, I don't see either of those on it.

RE: Antique kits???
The Luscombe, $100-175. Plans cut up puts it at the low end. The Vagabond, $75 or so. Not too many guys collecting gas FF models, and the Vagabond is not such a popular one. Keep them and enjoy them. Remember the model T theory, though...just because something is older does NOT necessarily mean it will increase in value...the guys who wanted Model T Fords are mostly passed on nowadays...same with kits from the Forties...kits from the Fifties and Sixties are "hotter". So don't look at it as an "investment", just look at it as something to enjoy.
