Default Any market for the 3 vol. Bentley paper Manuals?

This is the 3 volume set for the 92-97 100 and A6. I couldn't find them anywhere Bentley's were sold and paid a buttload of money for them on ebay when a set finally showed up. One guy had a new set he wanted $400 for, but I didn't get beat up quite that bad.

We are considering selling our 94 100CS Quattro Wagon and if we trade it in or sell it privately to someone local, they likely won't be aware of the necessity of these manuals. I'll throw in the CD Bentley with the car sale.

These manuals are in excellent condition, but not sure just how rare they are. I'd like to get my money out of them, much less see them go to a list member since everyone here has been very helpful over the last year plus. Will likely get an older Audi car to replace it, maybe a 90 or a 4000 Quattro. Again, I won't let go of the volumes til the car sells, but perhaps selling them with the car to a knowledgeable individual may be a big selling point.

I'd appreciate everyone's take on this.

Thanks

Max

Default My 3 vol set ran me ~$250 from dealer a few years ago. I've seen them periodically on eBay for...

$150 - $200 per set. $400 seems too high, but that may be the new goiong rate due to their scarcity.

Default I grabbed mine "buy it now" $160 have seen them do over $200

Mine are new never used, I bought them a year ago. I searched every day on ebay for them. I think they were listed 1 hour before i purchased them.

Default I have a Bently Manual for 88-91 80/90/Cq cars.

Maybe we can work out a trade?
