66400 Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 In this one case Buick prices have passed Chevy prices, a '63 Chevy shop manual should never bring that much what with all the reprinted Chevy manuals available. But it may be time for me to get rid of my '65 Skylark Grand Sport shop manual and '65 Special manuals I'll never need again.<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted December 6, 2000 Share Posted December 6, 2000 Check it out tomorrow. Dimes to donuts says that the top bidder is no longer listed and the price is more reasonable. I've seen this happen 5 or 6 times, always with books. I suspect that there are sellers out there with phantom bidders pushing up prices. Of course they then drop out, leaving the highest legit bidder to buy at a price higher than otherwise would've been attained (if only because it's value appeared inflated during the bidding).<P>You <I> can </I> get a good buy on eBay if you're careful, and know the value of what you're biding on. I got a near mint set of 1960 manuals (chassis, body and preliminary) for less than $20. And then you can still get taken, the manuals were Canadian (not mentioned in the ad).
