Typical great deal on e-bay

[H0RR0RSH0W]

So has anybody thought to contact this guy and fill him in that even in mint condition those books wouldn't be worth a fraction of what hes asking?

[cousin itt]

I can't believe these are still here! GLWTS!

There sure are a bunch of LOSERS on that car hood !!!

[vaultkeeper]

You guys are overlooking the fact that these books are from the "Chevrolet collection".

[wombat]

Maybe the car comes with them.

I wouldn't try joke bidding-- If I were him, the second I saw someone bid on it I would end the sale and make that bid final.

 

though it is tempted to get on the ground floor of the Chevy pedigree (in this case the pedigree indicates the presence of fleas)

If he starts the car (with the living room windows open of course- duh) and plops a mattress on the books for a little while, he may just have something there.

And here I thought this was THE deal of the day:

Silly me

absolutely -- a house fire is definitely something

I'd happily pay a fraction of what he's asking for these in mint condition.

 

FWIW- 2014 OSPG lists 6.0/8.0/9.2 as

 

O.F.F. #147= $9/16/30

O.F.F. #149= $9/16/30

O.F.F. #150= $9/16/30

O.F.F. #151= $9/18/38

O.F.F. #152= $9/18/38

O.F.F. #153= $9/18/38

O.F.F. #154= $9/18/38

O.F.F. #155= $9/18/38

O.F.F. #156= $9/18/38

G.I.C. #138= $36/80/265

G.I.C. #152= $12/25/55

G.I.C. #158= $9/14/25

G.I.C. #159= $9/14/25

G.I.C. #167= $9/14/25

G.I.C. #169= $9/14/25

G.I.C. #173= $6/11/20

G.I.C. #174= $6/11/20

G.I.C. #176= $6/11/20

G.I.C. #177= $6/11/20

G.I.C. #178= $6/11/20

 

6.0 = $201

8.0 = $383

9.2 = $858

9.8+ = WAY more.

 

Obviously pressing will improve their presentability, but I wonder if moisture had something to do with their current state.

I have to admit, if he had individual scans and more details of their condition (PQ, stains, dog-eared pages, everything attached, etc.), he'd have a better chance.

Best case scenario; if these have no stains & OW pages, and simply need a press to make them flat, I doubt there's anything above 8.0 IMHO. But with this photo who can say?

Caveat emptor

[RockMyAmadeus]

I love everything about that listing. Everything.

 

First, he decided that he needed some dramatic way to stage his big find, so he apparently drove his car into his living room.

Hard to believe but the auction ended without a sale...who knew?
