Manual for over $1000 ???
« on: March 13, 2015, 14:56:12 »
Do they know something that we don't know?     :o

a pagoda owners manual for how much?

Is it time to sell ours? :D

I have no idea what this is about. These are not all that hard to find with a bit of patience. A slip of the decimal? Psychotropic drugs? Who knows. Like with Pagoda's you can ask any price you want to.....

Oz,

As Jonny pointed out and as you I am sure know as well some people put prices to items that they have no clue whatsoever etc. Unless he meant the price to be $113.60 to highlight our 113 Model Number :)

Anyway, people that need something use the search and compare prices and soon will find what they need for the right price :)

at those prices I would not be amazed to see soon fake manuals aged for the purpose. Aged fake books is a distinct market that sadly seems to grow.

Ja, Rolf,

That's correct.
But the one you are pointing us to is a (recent factory) reprint in B&W without colored drawings anymore.
The originals are a bit more expensive.
Maybe close to 3 digit number (100 ...) but certainly not 4-digit.
Crazy....

I bought an original 250 SL manual in color last year in perfect condition for much less.  It has absolutely no wear or discoloration at all.  I haven't found a perfect 230 SL one yet.  That $1136 one looks well worn.  If someone finds a 230 SL manual as good as the 250 SL manual I have I would trade for it. I'll bring it to Blacklick this year...
