Value?

[Bruce - UsenetGuide.com]

Hello everyone. I have a pile of schematics here. Mostly from the
early to mid 90's and some earlier.

There are a few copies from assorted vcr manuals and then I have a
pile of Profax schematics which I haven't looked too hard at but
appear to be mostly television schematics.

Do these have any value anymore? Should I offer them for sale and if
so where? I considered Ebay for selling them.

Please let me know
Thanks

Value, maybe as a fuel to start a fire.
Honestly, very very very few pre-mid 90's equipment even comes in for
repairs these days with the low cost of the junk on the market. Then there
is the law of supply and demand, the simple fact that 3/4 of all servicers
that were in business in 1995 are now out of business or in process of
closing up shop means there has been a flood of used equipment and
schematics/manuals available for some time.

Historically, service manuals do poorly on Ebay unless they are only a
couple of years old and on the larger expensive projection sets.

If you are lucky enough to have a community college that still offers an
electronics degree and maybe a consumer electronics repair, they might be
willing to take them as a donation.

You might want to inventory and create a list to see if someone here or at
marketplace thinks the specific ones you have are of any value.
