While planes are being advertised for sale, I may  as well through mine in too.  I need to sell my Fox Classic IV w/582.   Will take $20K (more than $30K invested).  If anyone is interested, send me  a note off list and I'll give all the specifics.

  

 Priced to sell (I hope)

It amazes me at the prices of used  Kitfoxes.   selling for 1/2  or less of the cost to build a new  one and you can fly it now. 

 Imo  they should be selling alot higher but  market seems to dictate pricing.

I'm getting blasted by several for selling too  cheap.  Maybe I should up the price????  I have a very bad habit when  it comes to selling things.  When I make up my mind to sell, I want it gone  the same day if possible.

I'm going to add my two cents worth here as well (perhaps just a penny). I believe the resale price of our awesome birds needs to be elevated. I have also been surprised at how low I see some of these planes go for. To invest so much time and money in anything and then just blow it off at selling time is not doing our brotherhood any favors. Value is value and we should not sell ourselves short. I am currently building a IV speedster with a 912s. I will have over $40,000 invested when all is said and done. If I choose to sell the plane I would hate to think about the loss I would take in this market. We as a group do have a choice to change the market.  We have a well known product and should treat it as such. List what the plane is worth and don't take anything less.

 I have been on this list for awhile and have heard many things. I have seen  a good number of Foxes up close. And lets face it, not all builders are alike or  build or even attempt to build to near factory standards. And for than reason,  maybe some Foxes aren't worth much. Have you ever seen a KitFox that you would  not take a ride in? I have!

  

 Well, no one is touching my Model IV-912UL for less than $60K. In fact, if  I was offered $75K today, I would not take it. I know how it was built and how  it flies and how I feel when I fly it. If I sold it, I would have to build  another to feel the same way. When I am not going to fly it any more, I will  give it away before accepting less than $60K! And mine is nothing special next  to some of the really nice Foxes I've seen.

Roger,

  

 As much as I admire craftsmanship, quality,  well thought out design and  correctly selected components and beauty,  you are safe. No one is going to match or top your offer expectations. But let  me be the first to say I would appreciate being placed first on the give it away  list since I have nothing to fly. The market place is the  judgment seat  for selling prices, only we the builders can place  our own intrinsic worth  and esoteric value on our creations.  I agree. It is worth at least  $60K.
