Hi Ron,

General consensus is that unbuilt kits are worth more. They go on eBay
sometimes for huge sums. But as far as the value to YOU, there can be a
great deal of fun building them again since you can't get new ones anymore.
Since many of the parts will have aged, and some may not be available
anymore, you do run the risk of not being able to get it working, in which
case its value is nearly zero. My advice would be to leave them unbuilt and
just admire them for what they were.

I am new to this, although I've built Heathkits for the last 30 years. I
still have a few unbuilt in the original box. Is it more valuable as a built
or
unbuilt kit?
Thanks,
Ron.
