This whole Jordan business is truly wacky.
I've stayed away from eBay for quite some time. I knew the Jordan kits were going for some serious dough on the 'Bay but the price on this Jordan crane is just crazy. $55 for a Jordan kit ?!?!
I wonder if these high dollar Jordans will ever get built....
Jaime
Wow!
I sold a few of mine to another forum member for $4 or $5 per and then gave what I had left, with one exception, to Tom. The only one I kept for myself is the Steam Shovel. Maybe I should sell it and retire. ;D

I'm willing to go as high as $16 for that shovel...

I have the ones he gave me along with the steam crane and the stream shovel. I'll sell them both for 10 X $16.00. Naw, just kidding, they are in my build stash.
Tom ;D
Hey Guys:
I think I still have a bunch of em packed away in a box somewhere but not sure.

They are definitely worth a lot. They are a ton of fun to build.

Time to list them on eBay
Jaime
Since I model in 1910 timeframe, Jorden vechiles are what I need. I bought about 10 prices from $2.00 up to $12.00. At that point the prices went crazy. Like Jamie said on E Bay they jumped to $40-$50 dollars almost overnight. So I stopped buying. Apparently others have too. I noticed some recent offers have had no takers. So Jamie sell them now if you are not going to build them, looks like the market is running out of steam.
I am hoping to dust off the How To video Dan sent me and start building what I have.

They are a lot of fun to build and they sure do look good.

I'd love to have a steam shovel, and would trade several Jordan wagons (which I have accumulated over the years) in exchange...

I don't believe I've seen the wagons built up.

Wow !!!!
If you put them on eBay you might end up with enough money to buy some nice brass engines.

Karl, you are screwing with the Jordan economy for hoarding that stockpile. Governments have been taken down for less!!
And now the INSTRUCTIONS sheets are selling for crazy prices !

$6 for an instruction sheet !!!
That is ridiculous.
Maybe we should start a forum library for instruction sheets for the kit builds we've posted.
Jaime
Amazing! I have picked up the kits for $2 at shows not to long ago. I need to take inventory.
There is a place where old kit instruction sheets are on the Internet. I forget the URL, anyone else have this in their bookmarks?
