 Just look at this Penn Line Crusader! There is one happy collector out there with a deep pocket!

That's a LOT for a chunk of metal. And not even brass at that. But if it pleases the buyer, then it must be OK.

Actually, for one that is in kit form, complete, all original and never assembled. That is a pretty darn good price... when compared to prices ~6 years ago... Then again the factory painted models tend to fetch in excess of ~$1,200. Saw one sell once for nearly $1,800 back in ~2007-2008
I paid ~$710 for mine and it was a repaint and had a few small issues. Tony Lucio (spiderj76) would have loved to have that kit instead to start with when he did the restoration and repaint on mine...
This was mine before he restored it:

He had done a super bang up job on a deceased former and dearly missed member of ours, Mr. George Bennett:

Here is the thread we dedicated to his restoration of mine:

Here are the actual photos of mine pre, during and post restoration:

I tell you this... ~$1000 offered wouldn't convince me to sell mine!

| The buyer did well. It is a very reasonable price for a PL Crusader.
