Open Road

How did 928 WSMs reach this value? I paid $450 a few years ago and thought THAT was a reach.

I'm pretty sure I have a digital copy I got for free.

Supply and demand.
They have obviously become a collectors item.

lol. Let's see if that sells.

EDIT: On snap. I guess it did sell? (Screen cap is pixel challenged.)

they already sold

I have a spare full set (new gray version) - brand new in the original box if anyone is interested

I gave my set to Buckeye Land Sharks at an annual Christmas party, one of the members has them. Also had it digitally, IIRC gave it away

Obviously there is quite a bit of information asymmetry in the 928 workshop manual market.

The buyer of those shop manuals will soon figure that out.

One thing... I have never seen the 9-volume set in maroon. Only the 7-volume set. Thus, not sure it's real.

yeah, interesting. I' have the 9 volume gray set. Maybe the rarity of Maroon triggered the premium.

Since writing that -^ I have come across a 9-volume maroon-binder-bound set.

best go read the comments on that auction... BRB.

I'm going to bet on market ignorance and buyers remorse.

money laundering on a small scale?

Can you pay cash when you win a BaT auction?
