I'll admit my opinion of these kits colored my low estimate of what it might be worth if resold. Also not wanting yngrodder to take my word for a (rose-colored?) estimate of what someone might pay for it, especially if it didn't work out right away. The re-sale price of a kit like this one depends on finding the right buyer at the right time.
