Default Value of 914 + 914/6 shop manuals?

Hi guys,
I'm visiting from the 993 area. I've come across a set of 914 manuals that include the parts catalog and the 914/6 addendum. They are not in collectible concourse condition, a little age-yellowed, but are very useable. Clean except for the section 9-Electrical, which some guy must have been using in his garage when he was rewiring.

I'm planning to put them on Ebay and was wondering what you think a fair reserve price would be.

Thanks,
Colin

That's the 914 parts catalog.

Glad I've got a set sitting on my office shelf- still comes in very handy. Also have an old Haynes manual that I got autographed by Dr. Porsche himself at the Parade at Lake Geneva in '72- NO, I don't use that anymore!

You don't need a reserve. Start at 9.14 and watch it fly!

Just like my boys will fight over the 914 when I'm gone, they can also fight over the manuals... they'll need them to keep it running!

Or is it all of the above? I can handling leaking, but it is when it breaks that I have a problem with it.

Yeah, the only thing I've had break was the top when I backed over it...
