What's my Porsche dealer catalog with interior material samples worth?

I've had this for quite a few years. Thinking of letting someone else adopt it. Any idea what it's worth? I'd love to put it on Ebay, but don't know how to describe it so the right folks would find it... I don't know if the right folks would even be looking for it.

It's probably from the early 80s as the cars shown are 911, 944, and 928S. Looks like you'd sit down with your salesman and build your Porsche using this book. It has clear overlays so you can see what your new Porsche will look like in each color. It also has real samples of cloth, velour, leather, and carpet in each available color. The metal bits could use a little work with steel wool, but otherwise it's in great shape. Dimensios are a little over 18"X10". What do you think?

I have a dealer parts catalog for a 356 that I have been sitting on for years for the same reason. I would be willing to sell, but have no idea where to list it or how much to ask.....

If I owned an upholstery shop doing European cars I'd kill for that. Why not take it to a local shop that does work on Porsches and say: "make me an offer". Be reasonable. If I liked the shop I'd probably give it to them in return for a small discount on future work.

That would be much more valuable to an upholstery shop (and ultimately their customers) than to your average Joe.

Edit: There is a well regarded shop in Tempe that works on Porsches and other European makes, can't remember the name - When I get home I'll post it.

Lee, you see those pop up now and then on the PP 911 classifieds. Do a search over there and see what they have sold for in the past.

I looked around in the classified and Ebay before posting here. There are only a total of three posts in the literature section and nothing similar to this under collectables.

Lee your search fu sucks. You didn't find anything because no one posts in the literature section. They all post in the 911 used parts section. Go down this list and you will find a few sample books for sale. Pelican Parts Technical BBS - Search Results

Well... I see a lot of literature for sale, but nothing like what I have. Am I missing something? I DID find where I asked the same question back in 2009.
