Multiple BMW Blue Books & Microfiche For Sale (working to restore CL ad)

[rblongboarder]

I saw this during a CL search and contacted the seller in Santa Barbara...

In summary, he's a former shop owner who's liquidating a large collection of blue books.

https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/pts/d/carpinteria-bmw-repair-manuals/7755716453.html

He has blue books for:

• 630, 635
• 1602, 1802 and 2002
• 528e
• 320i
• 725, 730, 733
• Bavaria / 2500 / 2800 / 3.0csi Band 1 & 2
• Bosch D&L Jetronic
• Bosch K Jetronic
• BMW M & BMW Alpina Parts & Accessory Manuals

I've attached all the images he sent to my cellphone; image order should match the list above.

EDIT 20240805 / 6:45AM PST: The CL ad has vanished; it was dated 6/20 so I'm not sure if it expired due to age, or because we overwhelmed the seller with traffic. I feel really bad about this; I was just trying to boost ad visibility and help e9 forum members obtain items they're searching for.

EDIT 20240805 / 3:53PM PST: I've been communicating with the seller via text messages. [For obvious reasons, he does not want his phone posted on open forums.] He send me additional photos to upload to this post. I am working with him to re-post his ad on CL; interested parties can contact him directly through the CL email relay system. (I am not going to be a broker or go-between.)

EDIT 20240805 / 6:06PM PST: I've uploaded additional shots of the M / Alpina materials and a shot from the Bosch repair manuals. The new CL ad is not up yet.

EDIT 20240806 / 9:02AM PST: Two more Bosch photos added to end of pictures. New CL ad or method of contact still not resolved.

If a forum member purchased these, I would dearly like to purchase a copy (yes, just a copy) of the D-Jet manual.

I feel I owe the forums an apology on this post. In retrospect, it feels a bit like the boy who cried wolf.

What seemed like a great ad on Craigslist (Los Angeles) ended up being a dead end. The individual in Santa Barbara texted me many photos of items for sale which I uploaded to my original post.

However, I tried contacting the seller about three weeks ago and his phone was disconnected. I keep an eye on the ad postings, but I haven't seen anything reappear.

That guy would never give a price on any item and would just talk about the weather, the Dodgers, the economy, etc.. Seemed like he was lonely and was just looking to find friends through an ad on craigslist.
