Nice "Patricia" on US Ebay
« on: July 22, 2013, 02:37:27 pm »
No affiliation, just thought someone may be interested. Finished Steam Launches are quite rare here.  I know because I keep looking!

Looks like a very nice launch - and so cheap!  Well, it is at the moment.  I guess in 5 days that price will be ten times what it is at the moment.  Or it should be - if I had built that I'd be looking for a four figure sum to let it go.  But I think I'll keep an eye on it just in case - even with the postage to UK the current price, or anything near it, is a steal.

Are you thinking of bidding Cal? (I don't want to step on your toes  %))

No Greg, bid away.  I've reached my limit for the time being...  But it is a nice boat. I'm gonna guess and say it will go for $800-900.  Which is really a steal...

It's pretty rare to see completed steam launches, as nice as these especially on US Ebay.  I don't make it a habit of posting these but they are the only two on Ebay that I can find.

This one is more the price I expected for it.

This one just sold for $1487.  Probably a good buy, it was a nice boat.

And the original one you posted has now reached a more sensible price with 22 hours to run (as I write).  Now well above my (admittedly very modest) budget to bid.  Oh well, it's nice to dream  %)

It looks like a free-lance upper works on a RN Steam Picket hull. Very nice it it too.

Wow, this one sold for $1492.  I think that is more than the other (which I thought was a nicer boat).
