The other day I bought a vintage Falcon. It looks pretty good. No stickers, a little yellowing. I paid $50 for it. Is that fair?
-
I'd love to tell you, but I honestly don't know as I don't follow vehicle pricing at all. If it's complete with all the internal and external parts it should be pretty decently priced, I'd guess.
-
Yes, like Brent mentioned, having all the internal and external parts makes a difference. The training ball is the part that is most lost and can be very pricey to obtain. Looking the the completed auctions, a Falcon complete can fetch up to $80.00 loose so without the training ball and arm looks like to be around the $30.00 to $45.00 range.

Dale- what if I HAVE the training ball and everything else, stickers are on, and paid less than 3$ for it? Is that a good deal? Did I mention it does NOT have the training ball's arm? Are the parts ever sold like that..like, lets say I need the training ball armature..how much? :-\

$3? Clearly you were ripped off. You shouldn't have paid more than $2. :P
-
The Falcon ball & arm is fairly lost do to it's size, original replacements can be found but they are mostly sold together around the $12. - $22. range on the bay. As a guess for the arm by it's self, you would be looking around $15. but I think you would be better off getting the whole set togther as the arm rarely comes up alone. :-\
-
thanks, Dale. How do I search for that? Type in Mill. falcon parts?
-
Type in Falcon ball arm, that would narrow it down.

Although I don't collect vintage that often, I like to check it out from time to time to see what's going on.
One trend that I always see is that patience pays off. Just keep looking and you'll find the parts you need eventually.
And $3 for a nearly complete falcon is way too much! :P
