79' 305 Rocket Conversion on eBay

[231Pilot]

There is a nice looking Rocket on ebay, could use an avionics upgrade but is a pretty aircraft.  The item number is 280481719875.  There is a reserve on the plane, auction is over on March 27 at 14:07:27 PDT.

If you are looking for a rocket, this might be worth checking out...right now the bid is $1,000.  I'm pretty sure that won't touch the reserve:)

(I saw it listed on Controller for $112,000.  Has 2700 TT, 800 SMOH)

It didn't sell on ebay (apparantly didn't reach the reserve) and now is listed on Controller at $120,000.  That would be my strategy too....if it doesn't sell, raise the asking price.  Go figure.

I guess he doesn't really need to sell it in a hurry!

This shows how far prices have dropped. 7 years ago I sold a very similar plane for $175,000. Mine was a 1980 with new paint and interior, monroy tanks, speed brakes and a EDM. No HSI, no gps, no stormscope and a C-41 auto pilot. Stock radios and an old loran. At the time it had about 2000 TT and 750 on the engine.

 Now is the time to buy. I think that value will only go up from here.

This airplane is based at my home field.  If anyone is "serious" about it, I know the broker who's handling the deal.  I could easily find out what the rock bottom price is.
