Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

Looks neat, but it's only 8 pages and the buy-it-now is a whopping $475.

It auto-rejected my "make an offer" of $100.

So it's a whole lot of money for not a whole lot of documentation. But what the heck: who's interested at $15? If I can get a bundle of people together to crowdfund a bid, maybe I can break through the offer-limit. As always, contributors get a full-rez, full-color scan...

Not this time. As you say, not enough to be worth worth it.
 
Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

Checking the "item revisions," the oldest was in November, 2015. So it has been on ebay for quite some time without selling. There doesn't seem to be an expiration date on the auction, so the seller probably threw it on there, tacked on a "what the hell" price, and then forgot about it.

Some items on ebay are really worth a lot. Some aren't. There is an argument to be made about *not* paying a high price for something because that'll just drive up the market value. So I think that I'd put a cap of $150 on this, and that's probably going well overboard.

Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

What the heck, put me in for $15-$20. Thanks.
 
Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

Well, this one will stay unpurchased. I sent a question to the seller, he just responded:
It has seven more pages than the Declaration of Independence and may be just as rare, so $475 may be quite a bargain. I appreciate the interest, but for now I will hang on. I have a set of English Studies books that I have had listed for over ten years.

Meh.
 
Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

Double meh. Thanks for trying.
 
Re: Grumman Design 75 Report

By that logic, I can sell him my contribution to the Great Works Of VAX/VMS, which is a hell of a lot longer than the Declaration.
