Question about selling a C-310R POH...
Hey, everyone. I'm going to sell a whole bunch of my old flight books and POH's from my flight instructing days. I'm a little confused about what price I should list one POH, though. I have a POH for a 1978 Cessna 310R. I bought the manual in 1995. I don't remember how much I paid. I was looking around the internet for the same manual and I found two companies who are selling the POH, new, for 180 to 230 dollars!! I couldn't believe it! I don't remember paying this much for my manual. Mine is in pretty good shape, but is the thing really worth that much money? I don't want to list the book for too cheap and lose out on some money, but 200 dollars seems kinda crazy. What do you guys think?

Ya, I checked Esscoaircraft. They have it for $186.00. I didn't find it on Aircraft Spruce.
The last revisions were in 1984. I bought it new in 1995, so I'm assuming it's all up to date.

Well I think an original would be worth a tad less than a new-old stock POH, since these books are not collectors items. I am thinking $150 and they pay the shipping. Maybe since they keep their value so well we should skip buying gold coins and just buy Cessna 310 POHs. I wonder if they would do as well buried under the garage though.

I was wondering the same thing. My copy says "Pilot Operating Handbook" on the outside and it's in a three ring binder. I have no idea how to figure out if there have been any revisions since I bought it in 1995. I'd be very surprised if there were revisions since there were none issued from 1984 to 1995.
