This was mentioned on the previous April-Fools Tojo thread, but deserves discussion on its own:

The Tojo drop tank is going around on another 30-day cycle again, still at the same price - $9,500.

What what be a realistic value for something like this. I am figuring maybe $1000, certainly less than $2000 despite the rarity. Of course, the value is whatever someone is willing to pay for it, but I do not see this as something people will be clamoring to buy. What do you think?

I think that Planes of Fame has one similar, not sure if it is an exact match. I'm sure if you donated it they would take it but they probably wouldn't be interested in buying it.

Not many people need one of these, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to fly this one. Might make a good pattern for a flyer though. It is hard to set a value for an item like this.
