Well - the time has finally come to pass along the collection. I am not ever going to fit into several of the models and can't justify  most of the others on the home front. Would love see them find good  homes.

BMW, Renault, VW, Subaru, Truimp, MG, Fiat, Mazda, Honda, SAAB, Toyota, GMC, Ford - etc - etc.

Pre-1996 model years going back to the 50's in some cases.

I don't know the value of any that may be out of print. but I picked
up a copy of item 8016965197 for just under $8 at my local Wal-Mart
store, discounted because the cover had a slight crease in it..... You
want more than that for shipping alone...

Pleasure to make your acquaintance Ray.

I've priced all the same to make it fair. My understanding is that the old Ford Truck manual is still out there, but not being printed anymore. Could be wrong though. The running joke around here was that "it was the Ford you *didn't* need to Fix Or Repair Daily".  .. :) ..

As to the shipping - I'm charging it at whatever it *actually* costs and say so on the auction in a couple of places. The $8 figure quoted is a top end estimate. Stupid e-bay doesn't allow you to set up 'Buy It Now' without setting a fixed shipping price nor say that it is an estimate on the form.

If you know of another way to do that, I sure appreciate the insight on it.

Cheers and thx.

Sold a small collection from the 80's and 90's locally a couple years ago
for $4 each. The used book store in the mall sells them for $7.
I bought them for 50 cents to a dollar at garage and rummage sales.
All in Canadian funds.

I kept picking them up at the local Flea market over the years here in Halifax - but could never talk anyone down below $6 Canadian (usually $8-10 for most of them). But as much as I still would love to own them, I'm just never likely to fit into a Fiat X1/9 or a Healey Sprite and there is no way on earth I'm going to talk the missus into a TR7 again.
