Post subject:  Owners manual - check me on price for this?

I have a few original owner/rider manuals for older bikes and cars so I'm checking their value on eBay last few weeks. I'm not being greedy but the eBay one is going for $89.95 (free shipping).... :shock:

Update: I added a Suzuki TC100 manual note on the bottom. Same thing :shock:

This is the only other one I've seen, I have the exact same manual, in fair condition with a fold on the top front cover and a little discoloration (my picture below - and eBay link/picture following).

So what would be a "fair" price - no WAY I would pay 90 bucks for this.

Suzuki TC100 owners manual.

Found the same seller with a TC100 manual - again $99.95 and $6.95 shipping !!!

There is one other for $34.99 plus $6.95 shipping :shock:

He's dreaming on the price. I've bought NOS manuals for 10-15.00. The only manuals I've seen bring decent money were for H1's and H2s.Problem is the only person buying that would be someone that owned an actual bike.

If you use muscle car and vintage music catalogs as standard, it's all about how popular the catalog / manual is + how much interest in the item.

For a run of the mill bike, Buddy is spot on.
A really rare in demand manual could be 100's
