Large Lot of Factory Service Manuals - $15 each shipped to 48

I bought a rather large lot of Chassis Service Manuals from a closed dealership. I bought everything Oldsmobile they had and want to sell the duplicates. $10 each plus $5 shipping. They are not perfect. I cleaned the dust from the covers the best i could. Some still have stains or bent edges. Do not buy one if you want a perfect one. The insides all seem just fine, they have been sitting in a garage for a long time and they are just mostly dusty and a little musty smelling.
The price is for shipping USPS medial mail to lower 48. PM if you need overseas shipment. Please only PM if you want to send a payment. PM me your paypal email address. Of course i take cash or money order.
Thanks and I am hoping these find a good home.
List:
1979 Chassis Service Manual
1980 Chassis Service Manual - 2 copies available (Starfire, Cutlass, 88,98,Toro)
1981 Electrical Trouble Shooting
1982 Chassis Service Manual (Cutlass, 88,98,Toro)
1982 Electrical Troubleshooting
1983 Electrical Trouble Shooting - 2 copies

Hello Pete. I know it's a long shot but do you still have one of the 79 chassis service manuals? If so, I'd like to buy one.

Also, any manuals for the 73-77 era?

Here's a nice set of both the chassis manual and the Fisher Body manual. You really want both if you're going to be doing any significant repairs.

There are more listed, but this gives you an idea. Also, I personally would avoid the CD versions as they are often scans of the paper versions with varying scan quality. Plus, it's hard to use the CD when you're in the garage with your hands greasy and want to be turning pages.

C'mon, keep a stiff upper lip. We've all had it happen. Nothing like being sniped. Keep trying, and you'll end up with one.

OR you could "get on over to Olds Performance Club site at Wildaboutcars.com" and view or download any of them FOR FREE. It dont cost a dime to join and all those manuals are there for all to use and enjoy!
"ya'all" should take a "stroll" on that website and "join" in the fun!!

WAC is a good website. But the manuals there are licensed copies they ask you not to reproduce as part of your membership agreement (Proprietary rights exist for the publishers of the manual). I'm sure they don't mind you printing a page or 2 to take out to the shop. I joined WAC awhile ago, and it has some nice acesses to information, and great info on lots of other car lines/models/manufacturers. There are also plenty of members from CO who are on WAC too. Just make sure you read the disclaimer about use of the electronic copies of the manuals.

But this site is not a panacea. In this case, it has the '72 chassis manual, but it does not have the '72 Fisher Body manual. In fact, I don't see Fisher Body manuals from any year.

If you look at the Factory Service Manual page, availability is spotty. Chassis manuals are available for 1964 through 1972, but they have nothing for '63 and earlier, except for a manual for the '63 F-85, nor for '73 and later.

I'm sure the site will get better over time as more manuals are scanned and uploaded, and for the manuals they do have, it is a great resource. But as Allan R says, there may be some legal issues about printing any pages, although no one would know if you printed out a few to take to the shop with you. But there is also something to be said for having the full book with you in the shop to flip through as you're working on something.
