I've been watching ejection seats on ebay for about a year now, some are very complete but demilled, so make excellent collector items. Others are incomplete to hardly recognizable.
Ebay Germany with Germany being close enough for me to pick it up by car (the seat that is) regularly has a seat listed, coming from T-33, F-104, G-91, various MiG's, and just less than a week ago one from an F-4. Now that one really was tempting but the house needs the floor done, the outside painted and a new bathroom so I can't justify spending money on a useless ejection seat.
Haven't seen one from an F-15 yet, this one will easily pass $2000 and I won't be surprised about $3000.
Collector's world though : I've seen nice ones go for half the money of a similar one that was scruffy as hell.
Figures.
I druled over the first picture and never noticed that it was just a teaser for what's actually being listed: only the 'chute container.
Darn I hate it when people do that.
