There is a bloke with one of these books for sale on E Bay, the starting price is $125
From memory I bought mine for $40, have they really gone up this much or is this guy DREAMIN!

I bought one secondhand one at a market stall at Brunswick Heads a few weeks ago for $25 (obviously well used).
Been chasing one for ages.
Aern't they under $100 new?
Anyway, what a find! I got a great book & a great conversation with the stall holders
about VW's.
Couldn't ask much more than that.

Must have realised the starting price was a bit optimistic, he has taken the $125 reserve off

[size=4]I sent Him an email stating that I was watching His Posting to see how He went selling the Book at that price. I told Him if He did sell it at that price , I was going to import a heap of them from Amazon.com and "make a Packet" . I noticed last night He had dropped the price... Sorry I didn't meet many of You down at the Nationals.. I had a Black VW cap on... & just in case You saw others with black VW caps on... I was the good looking one!! ... Looking forward to Nambucca in August.. VW Parts prices are getting very expensive compared with 5-6 years ago... !![/size] I tried to post an image of a multi-coloured Beetle but it was ALWAYS TOO Large to download.. tried 6 times... Did Not Succeed.. D:D:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:thumb:thumb
