Wow, you're really going to cripple yourself doing that. Unless a marine
radio shop is just starting up when you
post your auction, you may not have good luck selling like that.

You're obviously sitting in the middle of A&M, so grab a math prof... if you
have 80 manuals, I'm sure they'll sell for $10 each plus shipping.
That's 800 bucks. A chunk of change for only spending a few hours one
evening sorting and stacking
those manuals by brand, and [gulp] spending 2 minutes checking for one when
somebody asks.
Plus the ones you'll remember and not have to check for... ?
Now what you need the math prof. for is to calculate what percentage profit
you make with 0 investment/$800 return.
[I'm no math whiz, but 100% isn't the answer....]

And to answer the next pressing question....

Because I don't have the $325 to buy them. [The $125 for you and the $200
for 4-5 UPS boxes of dead weight.]

If you see the light or bust them up on ebay one at a time, please post your
user ID.
I need a Motorola Micom manual
and Motorola or Triton Autotuner manual. ... and I'll give you $30 shipped
for them, if they're there.

thanks!

FS: I have about 5 or 6 legal size boxes of Marine radio service manuals.
I got them from a friend who used to work at Radio Holland in Houston.
They service shipboard radio equipment and when the ships dumped HF radios
for satellite stuff he got a pile of their old manuals. No, I am not
going to look for a specific manual in all that stuff but I am going to
offer it all as one lot to whomever might need the stuff. Some of the
names I saw in there (many more too) are Sailor, Motorola, Data Marine,
SAIT, Marconi Marine, MacKay, Icom, Debeg, etc. If anyone is interested
before I post it all on eBay, let me know. $125 takes all. Located in TX
