I cannot believe a TV/remote (even SC!) instruction manual from 48 years ago went for over $100 on ebay. I can see putting an opening bid that high on something like a CT100 or some other rare TV, but to ask that much for just the manual . . . good grief!

Less than $1 makes a lot more sense, especially for manuals and schematics old enough to vote and then some. Heck, that's less than I paid ($5) for a copy of a Sams for one of my old radios a few months ago. The next time I need an old schematic I think I'll look to ebay, if I cannot find it on NostalgiaAir or some other free download site. Once in a while one runs into ridiculously high opening bids such as the one on the SC manual, but many if not most ebay sellers price their stuff fairly, as I have found in over a year of dealing with them and with ebay in general.
