Re: [FWDLK] book costs, etc

[Terry & Andree Hoeman <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I expect part of the problem was wanting 58 parts manual.   They are very
pricey since they cover 55-58 and are a major resource.   Lot of data in a
very large manual.  I've got many of the different versions in my manual
collection and believe I have an extra one but would never consider selling
it as low as the 80 or so the current one is listed for.

Some items on ebay get to high prices but many are very low yet also.   Blew
it the other day on a 55 300 brochure that only went for 35 or so.   That's
a $100 item easily.  Had it on my watch list but involved in something else
as the thing closed so missed it.

Seen a number if items go for crazy prices of course but still many buys out
there.   So much junk now that it is tough to stay on top of though.
