Thanks,

To enrich your knowledge the book is priceless, just as book and when offered it will cost approximately 100 euro.

You would do a good deal if you could gain the set of books for approximately two to three hundredth euro, low end of that estimate would gain you a bargain, good luck.

Hello,

I would not go higher than $80.00 per volume or $240.00 for the set. These books are extremely hard to find especially a complete set. On the other hand, I think you should be fare because it is rediculous that people have to pay so much money for an out-of-print book and it just makes it harder for others to learn what we already know because they can't afford the books to do the research in the first place. Sharing knowledge is more important than money but you should still benefit in some financial aspect since you are the one who paid for the books to begin with.

Best,

James

With all do respect James, but if they can’t afford the book they shouldn’t be getting in this hobby, there almost isn’t a single item described in those books that will cost less than the book itself

, books are knowledge and necessary to educate your self, Merry Christmas

Hi Simon,

great link, just found a book i have been looking for a a good price.

Many thanks!

As an interesting observation, i had no idea after browsing through some of the prices of the titles i have, how much cash i have sat on my bookshelves.

Never mind selling what is left of my WW2 collection, i should sell the books!

Patrick.

These books are a hot comodity...until Bender decides to reprint them w/ updates, then the old ones become...well, just old and not very valuable. This happened to the Baer helmet book. I don't know if a reprint is being contemplated, but sell them now before it is too late

James,

I have placed them on the estand and priced them with what I think is a fair price, a price less than what is being asked by dealer's. By posting them on the estand I have allowed WAF members to have the first crack at them before posting them on Ebay and getting more money for them.

I think that is more than fair of me and considerate of fellow collectors on this forum.

Robert
