Need Help On Porsche Valuation
 
I know where there is a lot of about 60 Porsche factory repair manuals. Don't know years or contents.. All are in the Porsche Burgundy or Grey ring binders. Give me a fair valuation and desirablity of said manuals. Need to get info pretty quick

Depends on the models. 993's come in the gray binders and go for $450-$600ish on eBay. But they're also the hardest to find.

I remember quite a few of the early sets through '73 asking for around 250 for a fairly quick sale. I have vols I and II and I don't think I paid that much.

How much are they asking? How many different books are there?

50 to 60 volumes of the B and G binders I know nothing else about the contents.

tabs, if you buy it and they have any 928 content, i'll offer you some spoons or something to your liking.

Gave my set of manuals to a nice guy( not Evren, he already had a set) ...so can't give you a value.

Would be easy to appraise if you knew what they were. Ebay can tell you anything you want to know if you know how to use it. (As a valuation tool).

Well, it was a while ago and I didn't say I paid that much for one. But I did sell a set on eBay for around $400 and that was even missing one volume. I later found that volume and eBay'ed it for over $70. But then I've sold license plate frames for $70 that I got for $5 at a garage sale.

I see factory repair manuals on eBay all the time. A good way to determine the vvalue is to go onto eBay and do an "Advanced Search". Select "Completed Auctions" and this will show you auctions that have ended and you will see the final price (vs. the current bid).

Unfortunately, eBay only displays the last 60 days of auctions so it's not always an indicator of value if your particular thing has not sold recently.

The whole lot went for $600...that was 60 Porsche factory manuals plus a whol boat load of Chilton repair manuals.

BTW I was the underbidder.

It was a close out of a European/Porsche repair shop.
