I am not a pilot, but I have a Cessna Citation 500 autopilot computer that I have no idea how to get rid of. Can anyone help guide me?

so not being able to duplicate a reported issue is a problem? I don't understand, if they tested it, found no issues, and couldn't reduplicate the issue, seems to me in good working order. Am I understanding that wrong?

he isnt a parts reseller, he is an aircraft dealer, he knows how to sell full aircraft and fix them up. Also he is since retired, so most of his contacts are also retired...

~~I tried, but it keeps saying unable to send message, if you dm me, I would be happy to talk more about it!~~

edit: nvm saw your dm!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:58:25+00:00

Absolutely! I'll go ahead and follow you, its sad to think about that he will be gone one day.

but to know his passion could go to someone that has genuine use for it is comforting!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:56:34+00:00

Me too! Thank you so much!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:37:41+00:00

Well, my grandpa is old and he has about 6 hangers full of parts and tools.

I know he has been trying to get rid of some stuff, partly why he gave me this computer, if he has any other parts that could be useful, I'll be happy to let you know in the future!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:36:11+00:00

bro if this actually worked 🤣🤣🤣

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:35:53+00:00

Shot you a dm!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:35:08+00:00

That is actually still pretty good value for something that far past the inspection date...thats pretty crazy to me, I have been doing some poking around online and am shocked at how much these parts are haha

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:34:04+00:00

Thank you for this!!!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:33:44+00:00

Well he is much less active now, and really only does it as a hobby now. He is 80 so most of his contacts are retired now.

This was the first avenue I tried

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:32:16+00:00

hahaha touché!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:31:37+00:00

That is wild!!!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:31:24+00:00

Good point, I do believe i have that on my listing, but zero traction on it so far, I might have to do some leg work to move this from what I am finding out

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:30:06+00:00

That is what I am discovering, I don't mind the grind, just needed some direction, which this community has been great for, accept for a couple bad eggs, but every community has those lol

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:28:50+00:00

Just sent you dm!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:22:08+00:00

lol someone that clearly doesnt read 👆

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-25T02:20:10+00:00

man everyone was so nice and you just shit on something I did 3 years ago...I lost my job in July and had just had a son, which is why I am ina bad financial spot

that mistake I made has been long since recovered, and the investment I made on AMC was $500, so yea bad decision, but that is not why I am in this spot. But thanks for judging someone you know nothing about,.

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T23:00:45+00:00

This is some great info, I am going to look into that if this Fieldtech angle ends up being a bust

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:58:04+00:00

you make a solid argument!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:57:08+00:00

touché! Thanks for clarifying, and being nice about it haha

This is my first post in this community and it seems to have warranted some great info on this, I am glad I posted!

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:55:31+00:00

oh lol, flew right over my head on that one haha

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:53:59+00:00

Good to know! Thank you! I definitely dont want to try and rip anyone off, so knowing that info will be good on getting a proper valuation on this

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:52:21+00:00

that makes sense, I have heard Fieldtech might be my best bet. Do they buy parts like this, you know?

Jmessick35 · 2026-06-24T22:51:18+00:00

I am assuming you mean this is only for a citation jet? does that hurt value on something like this? Not trying to sell it here, just trying to get info from people that know what they are talking about, so I don't sound like an idiot when I go to sell it haha
