Old Porsche books and sales brochures, are they worth anything?

[vonsmog]

Cleaning out some shelves and came across all of these, are they worth anything? the porsche Excellence was expected is a first ed. forth printing. Should I try listing them each, or just try and sell them as a lot to move them along?

When you find out what you are looking to get let me know i am interested.

I have fond many of those books at a second hand book store for not much money. To me, the brochures are valuable to an owner who wants the brochure of the car they bought. The Excellence Was Expected was worth a bunch until newer editions came out with updated info. Are any of them signed by someone notable?

If you have a 1984 Carrera brochure in nice shape I'd be interested.

I paid $90 in the early 2000's for a used first edition 911 Performance Handbook like vonsmog is showing.

You can "Buy it now" on Ebay for $4.14.

Von,

You have a PM.

I have factory service manuals I and II for all the early 911 cars, manuals taken from here posted by Grady Clay (like the MFI manual except mine says "printed in Germany"), the set of Up Fixin' der Porsche, the tiny tech books, and a couple of Bentleys.

I've put them up in the Classifieds here 3 times and not one taker. Oh, people want to cherry pick and leave me with the firewood, but that's not how it works with me.

I’ve sold over 100 books on Porsche here, some are worth more than others, but you can usually sell just about all of them.

I have the dealership brochures for every model Porsche I've owned, and none were all that pricey - $20 or so on eBay. Excellence Was Expected is trickier - isn't the first edition crazy expensive, or used to be? The rest are just used books.
