The topic says it all.
I have an opportunity that expires at midnight to get this and don't know how much it is worth.

Thanks.

$50?
$100?
Depends if you can read German

Posted by: seanery Jun 22 2003, 06:45 PM

I read enough german to get confused.

I can't read that technical stuff at all.

I'd say $100 (if in good/decent condition ofcourse)
If you think that's too much, buy it anyway and I'll take it off your hands for that amount

cheers,

Jeroen

They typically go for $100-125. US I havent seen them go for much less than that anywhere, and as much as about $200 once in awhile.

When bidding on items from germany, remember the exchange rate...its high right now...and also the shipping cost. For DGB its about $30 USD to ship that item to your door. And 6 weeks.

I got mine for 99 Euros (before shipping) at amazon.de and it is in excellent condition.

You mean this...

It doesn't have the original cover (no dust jacket) so it is sligtly devalued.

Woohooo! Way to go Seanery. You were the high bidder!

I came close to bidding, but I wanted the cover.

Nice find. I've briefly looked through a copy of someone's book... It's a great book!

Let us know the bottom line after shipping.

Regards,

Karl

$56.

I bid 75Euro's so this isn't too bad. I don't really care about the dust cover. I just didn't want to overpay for the book.

Karl,

Pretty good search to find what I was talking about.

I like you guys and all but I figure I'd tell you all about it AFTER the auction was over.
Cars and parts are the same, sorry guys!

Hmmm... not too hard to figure out...

First clue, what's it worth? Obviously you found one, and you want to know if it's a good deal.

Second clue, " have an opportunity that expires at midnight"

Sounds like an e-bay auction to me...

www.ebay.com - nope
www.ebay.de - bingo!

Took me about 30 seconds to figure out.

Next time... keep quiet!
